(62,270 posts)1. What prompted it?
That's crazy. Was there some pro-Democrat event? I assume that is among all Democrats running. Just seems odd it happened on June 30.
Great news for the Democrats. Especially since the vast overwhelming majority of those donations are small time.

Candidate reports must be made by July 15th. So everybody sends emails, phone calls, etc for every $1 they can scratch up by midnight of the 30th.
It shows if your a serious candidate gaining momentum etc.

Thanks for clearing that up. I actually don't involve myself in those mailers or lists.

The Republicans are running scared. I think a lot of seats are going to be in contention.
