Rob Simmons outraises Chris Dodd for third quarter of 2009
Rob Simmons announced that he has raised $970,000 for the 3rd quarter of this year, outraising corrupt Democrat Chriss Dodd who announced that he raised $900,000 in the third fundraising quarter. According to Politico, Dodd’s total also falls well short of the $1.2 million that he raised during the second fundraising quarter, and will be one of the lowest for incumbent senators facing competitive re-election bids.
Dodd’s campaign noted that the senator was sidelined for much of August recovering from surgery to treat his prostate cancer, and spent July working tirelessly on marking up the health care legislation as chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
The campaign also added that Obama will be in Connecticut later this month to headline a Dodd fundraiser, which is expected to net at least $1 million to his campaign coffers.
