Scoop: Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) raised more than $3 million in the third quarter for his Senate bid and will end September with $17.5 million in the bank. This is his third consecutive quarter raising over $3 million.
Krishnamoorthi is in a three-way primary to succeed Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) are also running.
News: Democrat Jordan Wood has crossed over $3 million in donations for his Maine Senate campaign. Per the Wood campaign, the average donation was $18 from 70,000 individual contributors. Wood, who worked for former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), launched his campaign to knock off Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in April.
Wood first needs to get through a competitive Democratic primary. Political newcomer Graham Platner has already secured Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) endorsement and raised over $2.5 million in the first month of the campaign. Democratic Gov. Janet Mills is also preparing to run. Brewery owner Dan Kleban is also running.
