Collins/Allen both raise $1 million

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, released their second quarter fundraising totals today, showing both have raised about $1 million in the last three months.

Allen is challenging Collins for her Senate seat.

That brings Collins' cash on hand to more than $5.1 million and Allen's to $3.1 million, according to information provided by both campaigns.

"This strong fundraising quarter not only shows that those of us who live in Maine appreciate Senator Collins' continued hard work and dedication to our state, but it also helps to ensure that her campaign will have the resources that it will need to communicate Senator Collins' long record of bipartisan accomplishments in the U.S. Senate," said Kevin Kelley, spokesman for the Collins campaign.

Allen's spokeswoman, Carol Andrews, had this to say: "Contributors recognize Tom Allen's record of accomplishments and sound judgment in opposing the disastrous policies of the Bush Administration. They are hungry for change for Maine and America and know that with Tom Allen, they will get it."
