Kucinich Raises $1.54M for His Campaign

[LauraK]

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich said Monday that his campaign had raised $1.54 million during a three-month period, mostly from small Internet donations.

After spending about $527,000 from April to June, Kucinich has about $1.06 million on hand for his White House bid. Considered a long-shot candidate, Kucinich is slated to file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.

The four-term Ohio congressman, who entered the race in February, had raised $173,080 in contributions and $7,000 in loans by March. He started April with $50,397 on hand, putting him near the bottom in the nine-way race for early money.

"Our goal was to raise a million dollars in our first full quarter. We far exceeded our expectations," Kucinich said.

His fund-raising total still puts him near the bottom.
