GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign manager reports that the 6th District Republican raised approximately $345,000 in the third quarter. She also reports having roughly $617,000 in the bank.
Two Democrats are currently running to challenge Bachmann in November, 2010. DFL state Sen. Tarryl Clark and Maureen Reed released their fundraising totals earlier this week.
Side note: Bachmann's campaign also said she raised more than $111,000 since yesterday. Bachmann's is encouraging her supporters to send a message to "the left" in an online fundraising blitz. Those figures aren't included in the latest fundraising totals.
