Udall raises $2.1 million in 2nd quarter
Democratic candidate Tom Udall has raised over $2.1 million in the second quarter for his Senate run according to his campaign.
For the second quarter ending June 30, Udall raised more than he had in any other quarter so far. Up to May 14, Udall had reported $3.2 million in contributions.
“We are so grateful to Tom’s strong, statewide base of committed supporters for making this our best fundraising quarter so far,” said Udall campaign manager Amanda Cooper in a press release. “Because of their generous support our campaign is able to knock on thousands of doors, have a strong statewide presence, and dominate the airwaves with hard-hitting TV ads."
Udall is facing Republican Steve Pearce in the general election. Pearce's campaign declined Monday to make public how much it had raised for the quarter that just ended.
"We will make our numbers public on the day they are due just as we did during the primary," spokesman Brian Phillips said via e-mail.
Udall's most recent ad is "Tragedy" which speaks about his work on DWI laws.. The ad also invokes the infamous Gordon House crash where House killed four people while driving drunk nearly 20 years ago.
Since the May 14 pre-primary reporting deadline, Udall raised nearly $1.5 million. He had raised a little less than $640,000 between April 1 and May 14.
The campaign was not able to give firm numbers on how much they had spent in the quarter but will be able to do so when they file.The filing deadline for all U.S. House and Senate races is July 15.
Udall's previous quarterly high in fundrasing was $1.3 million in the first quarter of this year.
