U.S. Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan raised $5.2 million over three months in his campaign for reelection — his largest quarterly haul — leaving him with more than $12 million with four months until Election Day.
The first-term Democrat on Friday reported 96% of all donations were $100 or less. He doubled new donors over the previous quarter.
Peters is one of two Democratic senators up for re-election in a state won by President Donald Trump. He is facing a challenge from Republican businessman and Army veteran John James, who has outraised the incumbent since entering the race more than a year ago. James’ campaign is expected to soon release its latest fundraising figures.
