U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, raised $3.7 million over the first three months of the year for her re-election bid.
Her campaign said it was the best ever fundraising haul in the first-quarter of an election year for a federal candidate from Wisconsin.
Baldwin’s fundraising helped push her cash on hand to $7.8 million. Her campaign did not release how much she spent during the the three-month period. But she ended 2017 with just under $7 million cash on hand. That means she spent about three-fourths of what she raised.
The period included a TV buy the campaign said in late March would run in four of the state’s media markets.
