Posted by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand raised nearly $1 million more than her likely Democratic primary challenger in the recent fundraising quarter.
The New York Democrat says she has raised more than $1.5 million and has more than $3.2 million in cash. New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s campaign says she has raised $577,000 and has about $1.7 million to spend.
The fundraising quarter ended June 30. Two days later, an adviser to Maloney said she would enter the race, but she has not formally announced. Maloney will get a fundraising boost on Monday, when former President Bill Clinton appears at a fundraiser for her.
No Republicans have entered the race.
Gillibrand was appointed to the seat after Hillary Rodham Clinton became secretary of state.
