AUGUSTA — Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Sara Gideon announced Tuesday her campaign had collected $3.2 million in donations over the summer.

Gideon, the speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, is among four Democrats vying to be the party’s nominee to take on incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

While Gideon’s campaign had not filed its formal report to the Federal Election Commission, it said 97 percent of its contributions came from individuals giving less than $100 and that more than 3,700 Mainers had contributed to the campaign over the last quarter. The campaign did not disclose how much money Gideon had spent or still had on hand, however.

All the candidates’ campaign finance reports for the fundraising period which ended on Sept. 30 are due to be filed with the FEC by midnight.
