Baker Leads Mass. Governor Candidates In Fundraising
BOSTON (AP) — Republican candidate for governor Charlie Baker has taken a fundraising lead.
As of June 30, Baker had more than $1.1 million in his campaign account after raising just under $400,000 during June.
Democrat Steven Grossman had the second most in his campaign account with nearly $932,000 according the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance. Grossman raised about $150,000 in June.
