Guess this says something....Walker raises $8.2 million; Burke $3.6 million
Gov. Scott Walker raised more than twice as much money as Democrat Mary Burke over the first six months of the year and he entered July with three times as much cash on hand, based on figures released by both campaigns on Wednesday.
Walker reported that his campaign raised $8.2 million from January through June, compared with $3.6 million for Burke. Walker had $7.6 million cash on hand while Burke had $2.5 million.
Both campaigns reported their numbers nearly two weeks before the July 21 deadline. Burke put hers out first and Walker followed two hours later.
Walker, a potential 2016 Republican candidate for president, is seeking a second term in office while it is Burke's first campaign for a statewide office.
Burke gave her campaign $400,000 out of her own pocket shortly after getting into the race in October, but she has not contributed any more since then, said her spokesman, Joe Zepecki.
"Due to the overwhelming support Mary has received, there has been no need for additional contributions to this point," Zepecki said. "As she has said all along, she is committed to doing more and will do more before the race is over."
Walker's campaign manager Stephan Thompson said Walker's totals show the "extraordinary enthusiasm" behind his campaign.
