Jul. 6—CONCORD — The reelection campaign of Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., said it broke another fundraising record, bringing in $5 million from April through June.
The one-term U.S. senator has a $7 million balance in the bank.
Campaign aides said Hassan's total for the second quarter exceeded her previous high of $3.2 million from 2016, when she unseated Republican incumbent Kelly Ayotte.
Aides said it also was the third-highest quarter for any Senate candidate in New Hampshire history.
Hassan faces only token opposition in the Democratic primary.
Eleven Republicans have signed up to run for the Republican nomination, including five major candidates.
The campaign of Keene Mayor George Hansel, a Republican candidate for the 2nd Congressional District, said it raised $316,000 through June.
Hansel, a two-term mayor, only announced in mid-May that he would be running for the seat held by five-term U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster, D-N.H.
Seven GOP candidates are running in the Sept. 13 primary. The three most active candidates are former Hillsborough County Treasurer Bob Burns of Pembroke, former Chinese law professor Lily Tang Williams of Weare and Hansel.
