MONEY MOVES — Patrick Roath, the attorney, voting rights advocate and Deval Patrick alum challenging Rep. Stephen Lynch, raised more than $115,000 on the first day of announcing his bid — none from corporate PACs — according to his campaign.
That’s more than the roughly $47,000 Lynch raised in the first quarter of this year (He had more than $1 million in his campaign coffers at the end of the March, per the most recent data from the Federal Election Commission.). The next deadline candidates face to file campaign finance reports is in mid-July.
