BELLEVUE, WA - Former federal prosecutor and King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn announced today that his campaign for Attorney General has raised more than $440,000 in six months.  Dunn’s opponent has reported just $418,000 in ten months of campaigning. 

No candidate since 2000, when electronic records were made available, has ever lost a race for Attorney General after raising more money than his or her opponent for six consecutive months.  Rob McKenna outraised John Ladenburg between June and November of 2008.  No other candidate for Attorney General in recent memory has outraised their opponent six months in a row. 

“I am very pleased with the campaign we are running to date.  Fundraising is an early indication of support and so far our support has been great,” said Dunn.  “With contributions from more than 2,000 individuals and all 39 counties, the campaign is in full swing.” 

This month Reagan Dunn announced the endorsement of 25 Sheriffs and Prosecutors from 18 different counties.  In addition, a Moore information poll was released in November showing the race a “dead heat.”
