McKenna camp hits $1M milestone

The campaign to re-elect Rob McKenna (R-Bellevue) for Attorney General announced Monday that they had passed the $1,000,000 mark for fundraising over the weekend. McKenna, who was a King County Councilman prior to serving as the Attorney General, has raised more money this cycle than any other statewide candidate short of gubernatorial candidates Dino Rossi and Gov. Chris Gregoire. He has also brought in $100,000 in the first half of June, and had more than $400,000 on hand at the end of May.

"These numbers indicate the breadth and depth of my support around the state," McKenna said in a press release. "I am grateful that so many Washington voters support what I am doing and want to see me return to office.  It shows that I am focused on the right things: Fighting crime and protecting families."

His opponent, John Ladenburg (D-Tacoma), has raise a little more than a quarter of a million dollars.
