Democratic US Senate hopeful Ed Markey benefits most from $1.25 million in outside spending

[Cha]

The biggest spender in the race so far is the League of Conservation Voters, a national environmental advocacy group based in Washington, D.C. The group has already reported pumping more than $545,000 into its efforts to help elect Markey, according to an Associated Press review of reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

6. I've donated somewhere between $5 and $545,000

Closer to $5, I'm afraid. I just hope he's cool with accepting "outside" money from Texas.

8. He's very cool with accepting outside money from

Hawai'i.

[DFW]

9. I hope Texas, too

Actually, Sen. Hirono, the new D Senator from Hawai'i told me her biggest outside individual contributions came from Texas. I guess when we look at our own hopeless case, we contribute elsewhere, but this cam always change. The more the right takes us for granted, the more chance we have to rip Texas out from under them.

10. That's interesting about Senator

Mazie Hirono's contributions, DFW.

Good Luck with Texas!

11. Thanks! If anyone needs it, we do! n/t
