SAN FRANCISCO – The Kamala Harris for Attorney General campaign raised $1,204,606 during the first six months of 2009, bringing her campaign’s total to over $1.3 million raised from more than 2,400 donors. Harris’ fundraising total exceeds her nearest competitors by more than $200,000, and does not include any funds transferred from other accounts. More than $500,000 of Harris’ total was raised online.

The fundraising totals, as reported on the California Secretary of State’s website, are as follows:

Kamala Harris                                 $ 1,204,606
Alberto Torrico                               $ 991,844
Rocky Delgadillo                             $ 935,624 

Ted Lieu                                         $ 495,940 

Pedro Nava                                     $ 227,358 

Chris Kelly                                      $ 62,232

The two Republicans currently with Attorney General committees reported the following totals:

Tom Harman                                   $ 429,067
Chuck Poochigian                             $ 0

The Sacramento Bee reported last month about how the Harris campaign turned “buzz into bucks”:

Kamala Harris set off her campaign for attorney general last year with a certain up-and-comer buzz in Democratic Party circles. Barack Obama summoned Harris as his stand-in at the state Democratic convention…But what Harris didn't have was money. At the end of last year, the San Francisco District Attorney had but $117,000 in her attorney general's campaign account…

…[W]ith Team Harris announcing that she raked in $1.2 million in donations since January 1st, Harris appears to have significantly outstripped [her opponents] in the race for cash since the first of the year.”

The Harris campaign has more than $750,000 cash on hand.
