Long-shot presidential candidate Deval Patrick outraised all other candidates in Massachusetts in the final two months of 2019 — a surprising development considering the former Bay State governor’s late entry into the campaign.
Patrick raised over $1.1 million from Massachusetts voters, according to a review of Federal Election Commission campaign filings. Patrick raised $2.2 million nationwide in the same six-week period. It marks the first campaign filing period for Patrick, who entered the race in November.
Patrick outraised Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the state, who raised just over $1 million in the final three months of 2019; Warren was the top-raising candidate in Massachusetts in the third quarter of 2019, pulling in just over $960,000 in July, August and September.
Following the two Democratic Massachusetts candidates were former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and former Vice President Joe Biden, who raised about, $731,000, $664,000, and $567,000 respectively.
