Dem AG Candidates Announce Financial Figures

Both of the Democratic candidates for attorney general announced their fund-raising totals for the second quarter. Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, announced he had brought in almost $380,000 with $264,000 in cash and $115,000 through in-kind donations. His rival, Sen. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, announced he had brought in more than $280,000 -- $165,000 in cash and $115,000 through in-kind donations.

Sen. Gelber continues to receive widespread support from across the state, said Christian Ulvert who is Gelbers campaign manager. Our latest fund-raising quarter brought in $165,000 in contributions, which brings our total funds raised to over $1 million. And our support continues to increase with two key endorsements announced this week from the Tampa Tribune and Miami Herald. We are on a strong path to have an aggressive voter-communication program as we enter the final 30 days of the campaign.

"I am humbled and overwhelmed by the groundswell of support that you have given us in the past year," said Aronberg. "I cannot adequately thank you for believing in me and my campaign to change Florida by making the attorney general the people's lawyer once again."
