Udall is among the top fundraisers through ActBlue

Tom Udall raised an impressive amount of money through the liberal fundraising site ActBlue during the first quarter of 2008, perhaps a sign of what’s to come when overall fundraising reports for the quarter are made public on or before April 15.

According to CQ Politics, the $195,000 Udall raised through the site from Jan. 1 to March 31 was the second highest total raised by any Democratic candidate for a House or Senate seat.

Udall has raised almost $334,000 through the site this election cycle, according to his page on ActBlue.

The enthusiasm for Udall’s campaign on the site underscores the importance of New Mexico’s Senate race on a national level. He outraised the combined totals raised by the Republicans in the Senate race, Steve Pearce and Heather Wilson, during the fourth quarter of 2007. Is his ActBlue success a sign that he had another whopping quarter during the first three months of 2008?

As soon as Udall files his FEC report or releases fundraising totals, I’ll let you know.
