WASHINGTON - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson raised $7 million for his Democratic presidential campaign during the last three months, surpassing his first quarter fundraising, his campaign announced Friday.
The total places Richardson firmly in fourth place in the race for money among Democrats, behind John Edwards and pack-leading Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. The second-quarter reporting period ends Saturday.
The Clinton campaign announced Thursday that she would raise "in the range of" $27 million this quarter — a record for a Democrat. The Obama campaign is expected to match or exceed that figure.
Richardson, who raised $6.2 million from January through March, had 24,270 individual contributors for the second quarter and a total of 38,000 donors for the past six months, campaign spokesman Pahl Shipley said.
