Kucinich supporters donate nearly $700,000 in six weeks

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich's plea to supporters to send money has paid off.

In the past six weeks, Kucinich raised nearly $700,000 in his bid to hold onto his 10th Congressional District seat. That brings his total to $735,000, the most he has amassed in a congressional race, including his initial bid 12 years ago against incumbent Martin Hoke.

His top rival, Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman, reported total contributions of $487,000, a little over half which was raised this year.

Thursday was the deadline for congressional candidates to file pre-primary finance reports with the Federal Elections Commission. To check the reports go to fec.gov.

Good for him!

I have been concerned for his re-election since there are so many challengers against him...

Go Dennis!
