| From June 9 to June 16, two New York Democratic congressional candidates were in the top ten for money raised on ActBlue.
Eric Massa, who is challenging Rep. Randy Kuhl in NY-29, was sixth for the week of June 9-16 raising $10,397.68. NY-21 Democratic candidate Tracey Brooks came in 10th place with $7,750.00 raised for the week.
ActBlue provided write-ups on each of the candidates who finished in the top ten. Here is what they had to say about Massa and Brooks.
On Massa:
Naval veteran Eric Massa is a candidate for Congress from New York's 29th District. He is challenging Republican incumbent Randy Kuhl, for the second time. Massa is a vocal supporter of the "Responsible Plan for Iraq."
Massa raised more than $10,000 this week on ActBlue, with a median donation of only $50.
On Brooks:
Attorney Tracey Brooks is aiming to succeed Democratic Rep. Mike McNulty, who will retire next year after holding the congressional seat for 20 years. Brooks, a former program director at Catholic Charities who served on Senator Clinton's regional staff, is the only woman vying for the nomination, and it is projected that she will face at least seven other candidates in the state's September primary. Brooks was the Democratic nominee for the New York State Assembly, 108th District, in 2002, and came within three points of an upset victory over a ten-year Republican incumbent.
