Montana's Republican Congressman Steve Daines sent a press release today announcing that his campaign for U.S. Senate raised $1.215 million in the first fundraising quarter of 2014 and will report over $2.2 million cash-on-hand.
He said that's the highest amount raised by a U.S. Senate candidate in Montana during the first fundraising quarter of the election year. In 2012, Jon Tester raised $1,214,716 in the first quarter.
Brock Lowrance, Daines campaign spokesman, said in the release, “Steve’s message of more jobs and less government is resonating across Montana, and that’s a strong testament to our fundraising success. Our campaign raised more than has ever been raised in Montana by a candidate for U.S. Senate in the first quarter of an election year. A record-breaking fundraising quarter sends a strong statement -- our campaign is well positioned as we begin the 2014 election.”

John Walsh, one of the three Democrats vying to challenge Daines recently also released fundraising numbers substantially smaller than those Daines announced today. The cash on hand numbers he reported were even farther behind Daines.
Of the other primary candidates seeking to challenge Daines, they have either not yet reported or reported substantially smaller numbers.
A fifth-generation Montanan, sportsman and father of four, Daines currently serves Montana in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is the leading candidate for Montana's open U.S. Senate seat.
