Winning was good for John Fetterman’s campaign accounts.
The lieutenant governor had long raked in millions of campaign dollars in $10 and $20 increments, but after securing the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, Fetterman saw a significant jump in his pace of fundraising, and in money coming in from outside of Pennsylvania.
Despite suffering a stroke days before the May 17 primary, Fetterman took in $8.3 million in the 44 days from the primary to June 30 — more than the state’s incumbent senators have ever raised in an entire three-month reporting period. That’s more than triple what he raised in a similar time frame leading up to the primary.
