Lamontagne Says He's Raised Nearly $1M

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne announced today that he's raised more than $910,000 through June 14.

His campaign said the funds have been raised from 1,538 unique donors, 88 percent of whom are from New Hampshire.

"We are thrilled at this remarkable show of support for Ovide's campaign, and we continue to build daily on our strong foundation," said Paul Collins, Lamontagne's campaign manager. "Ovide is campaigning town to town, person to person, and his message is clearly resonating with voters hungry for leadership, for a change, in Concord."

University of New Hampshire political science professor Dante Scala pointed out on his Twitter account (@Graniteprof) that Lamontagne has already eclipsed his 2010 fundraising total of $677,000. Lamontagne ran for Senate that year.
