PA-01: Candidate Finello's Fundraising Rises, But Congressman Holds Advantage
While incumbent Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatricks campaign outraised Democratic opponent Christina Finello in the second quarter, the political newcomers campaign saw a significant jump over her first quarter haul.
Finello, of Ivyland Borough, brought in more than $310,000 in the second quarter, with more than $200,000 of that coming in June, the month she won the Democratic primary, according to her campaign.
The campaign said more than 7,000 donors contributed $100 or less. That made the average contribution for the second quarter $26.
The second quarter haul was much higher than the just over $90,200 she reported bringing in the first quarter of the year.
Finellos campaign did not state how much cash they had on hand at the end of the quarter on June 30.
Since she entered the race last year, Finello raised approximately $485,500.
The congressmans campaign announced they raised $455,000 in the second quarter and had a war chest of $1.8 million cash on hand.
