Kaine Raises $2.25 Million for 2012 Senate Run

In the first quarter of fundraising for his 2012 U.S. Senate bid, Democrat Timothy M. Kaine has raised $2.25 million, his campaign reports.

The figure marks a strong start for Kaine's campaign, which was already $1.5 million behind fellow former governor and Republican opponent George Allen's when Kaine entered the race in early April.

Allen's second-quarter figures are not yet available, a spokeswoman said Monday, and neither were figures for Republican candidate Jamie Radtke, who raised $55,000 in the first quarter.

Tim Donner, a Northern Virginia television production company owner seeking the GOP nomination, has raised $206,000 since entering the race two months ago. Of that total, $115,000 was self-funded.

Finance reports are due to the Federal Elections Commission by July 15.
