Ned Lamont Running Low on Campaign Cash
Democrat Ned Lamont has just $329,560 cash on hand for the final weeks of the campaign, far less than rival Sen. Joe Lieberman whose account totals $4.7 million.
In reports filed with the Federal Election Commission on Sunday, the Lamont campaign said the multimillionaire businessman provided most of the money raised in the July 20 to Sept. 30 reporting period.
Lamont contributed $3,751,378 in the reporting period. Contributions from individuals totaled $1,091,766.
Last Friday, Lieberman's campaign reported it had about $4.7 million on hand heading into the last month of the campaign.
Lieberman's report showed he raised $6.1 million and spent $4.9 million between July 20 and Sept. 30.

The Lamont campaign said the candidate has contributed $6,252,878 himself to date. His campaign also said Lamont has received $2,758,174 from some 30,000 individuals through Sept. 30.
