Manchin-Led DGA Breaks Fundraising Record

West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin enjoys a 360-1 fundraising advantage currently over Republican opponent Russ Weeks.

Yeah, that's right.  360-1.  (For the record -- Manchin has $1.8 million on hand compared to Weeks $5,000 plus according to campaign finance reports.)

Turns out Manchin doesn't just rain money for his own campaign.  The Democratic Governors Association -- chaired by Governor Manchin -- just announced a mid-year fundraising record today.  The DGA ended the second quarter with more than $11 million raised.  That's more than double the total raised at this time last year.

The record for a full year for the DGA is $18 million, so that's surely in the wheelhouse for Democrats.

Posted by: dohemployee I was dumb enough to give Mancj=hin money one time but not twice. He had some of his cronies selling tickets to a fund raiser on state property which is illegal. West Virginians don't make a mistake and put Manchin back in office - vote for Russ Weeks!
