I wanted to share some exciting news about the June 30th fundraising deadline with you today. In my first quarter as an announced candidate for the U.S. Senate, my campaign raised just under $1.1 million. Nearly 9,000 people contributed to my campaign over the past three months, giving an average contribution of $122.
I could not have done it without you. We raised more than one-third of our money from you, the netroots community. Thank you for all of your activism and generosity during this last quarter. Together, we sent a strong message throughout the political world about the power of the blogosphere and the importance of ending the Iraq War.
I am happy to spend some time in the next 15 minutes to respond to questions or comments. Again, thank your for your help in this extraordinary quarter.
