Anthony Brown Lends Nearly $400,000 To Campaign For Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — Maryland’s former lieutenant governor lent nearly $400,000 to his bid for Congress but still has less money to spend than his rivals in the final days of the Democratic primary campaign, finance records show.

Democrat Anthony Brown made the loan in March, and without it, his campaign would have run out of money, according to a report filed late Thursday. Donors gave less than half that amount to his campaign during the first three months of 2016.

Attempting to bounce back after his surprising loss in the 2014 race for governor, Brown is running for a safely Democratic seat in Maryland’s 4th District in the Washington suburbs. The incumbent, Donna Edwards, is running for Senate.
