Cory Booker Has Raised $4.6 Million in Three Months for New Jersey Senate Race

Hoping to take the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg's seat

Newark Mayor Cory Booker raised $4.6 million in the past three months for his U.S. Senate campaign, a major showing of financial strength with the primary in his special election just more than a month away, POLITICO has learned.

Booker's fundraising total on the year is now $6.5 million, as he prepares to run in a crowded primary to be the Democratic nominee in the special election in October to replace the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg.
