(Southfield, MI -AP) – Democratic U.S. Senator Gary Peters of Michigan says his re-election campaign raised nearly $1.9 million in the first three months of the year. Peters said Wednesday it is the largest first-quarter fundraising total for any U.S. Senate candidate in state history. He says his cash on hand is more than $3 million.
The first-term senator is up for re-election in 2020. No Republican has entered the race, though John James – who ran against Sen. Debbie Stabenow last year – is considering whether to challenge Peters. Peters says 79% of his total contributions averaged $50 or less.
