Seven months into his campaign for Maryland governor, military veteran, author and former nonprofit executive Wes Moore has raised $4.8 million.
With the campaign filing deadline not set until Jan. 20, Moore’s campaign said in a statement Thursday he still has $3.1 million cash on hand.
“I am so humbled by the grassroots Army of supporters we have seen grow so quickly, drawn to our vision of increased work, wages, and wealth for every Maryland family,” he said. “We have a lot of work to do but feel confident about our ability to share our message and not only win in June, but bring our people-powered movement to Annapolis.”
The figure stands as a record-breaking moment for Moore, a first-time candidate seeking the Democratic nomination.
