Chris Dodd Taps Wall Street for Campaign Cash
I wrote about Sen. Dodd’s dismal in-state campaign fund raising efforts on Friday, today, thanks to the Associated Press we know much more those efforts.
Sen. Dodd raised a total of $608,995 from individuals during the first quarter, only $4,250 came from Connecticut residents. The other $604,745 came from executives at companies such as Citigroup, Citizens Financial Group and Fidelity.
Additionally the AP reports more than $100,000 of the more than $1 million raised by Dodd came from Political Action Commitees for the financial, insurance and real estate industries, among them the American Insurance Association, Mortgage Bankers Association and Real Estate Roundtable.
