Democrat Mark Kelly, who is challenging Republican Sen. Martha McSally, reported raising nearly $12.8 million dollars between April and June this year, according to a press release from Team Kelly.

Kelly ended the quarter with $24 million on hand.

“We continue to be humbled by the hundreds of thousands of people chipping in whatever they can, because they want to see Mark Kelly’s experience and independent approach representing Arizonans—defending health care protections for those with pre-existing conditions and fighting for our state in the U.S. Senate,” said Team Kelly campaign manager Jen Cox.

Team McSally has not yet reported numbers for second-quarter fundraising. Campaign fundraising reports are due tomorrow.

At the end of the first quarter in March, Kelly had raised a total of $31 million to McSally’s $18.6 million. Kelly then had $19.7 million remaining in the bank, compared to McSally’s $10.2 million, according to Open Secrets.

Kelly has consistently led McSally in polls in the race.

Getting hassled by The Man Mild-mannered reporter

  2. The more money you raise the more moral you are right? This race is like when hitler attacked stalin you don’t know who to boo for!

  3. It would certainly be a sad mistake if Arizona voters allowed the highest spenders to buy our Senate seat for the Texas carpetbagger who has no real interest in our state. That is, with the exception of wasting $15 million of Pima County taxpayers’ money on his World View boondoggle & lies about 400 jobs. Of the fewer than 100 jobs, one went to his daughter. Reports are that World View has now shut down & left town. Maybe voters should ask Kelly-Giffords why he kept his house in Texas.

  4. Vote any way you want, Trump-bots, but McSally is a Trump apparatchik from Rhode Island who slid into Arizona-real Gabrielle Gifford’s old seat due to a heinous shooting, and then she got “appointed” a senator.

    McSally already has TV-photo-op Trump taint all over her reputation. Trump has never been, and never will be cleared of criminal collusion with Russia until we see his financials from foreign banks and foreign individuals. Millions of citizens are going to defend our nation in November and vote them both out and away. Place your bets now and watch the odds grow.

    Mark Kelly, meanwhile, deserves every small dollar contribution he gets from independent voters of conscience.
