For Ashwin Madia, the most incredible week ever

As recently as last week, the race for Minnesota’s 3rd District seemed to lean Republican. But then Ashwin Madia had the most incredible week I’ve ever seen. Yesterday, I wrote about it in a piece exclusive to MN Campaign Report:

First, a poll showed him ahead of Erik Paulsen by 5 points. Then, the NRCC canceled a week of advertising for Paulsen. Yesterday, a second poll showed him ahead. And now, team Madia has come out with fundraising numbers that blow even their own previously impressive hauls out of the water.

A source has told MN Campaign Report that, at 2 p.m. today, the Madia campaign will announce that they have raised $997,632 for the quarter. This is a massive number. Madia has now raised over $2 million for his Congressional campaign.

What a week! Two polls showing him in the lead, the National Republicans starting to pull out of the race, and a massive fundraising haul of nearly a million bucks! Keep an eye on Madia, dear readers. He is going to be the first Democrat to represent the 3rd district in over 50 years.
