BOSTON (AP) — Republican Gov. Charlie Baker won’t face re-election until 2018, but he’s off to a strong fundraising start this year.
In the first three months of the year, Baker raised more than $800,000, cresting a total of $3 million for the first time since taking office.
Campaign finance records show the relatively frugal Baker spent just $160,000 during the same three-month period.
Baker’s fundraising dwarfs that of the top statewide Democrat on Beacon Hill: Attorney General Maura Healey.
Healey raised just under $17,000 during the first quarter of 2016, leaving her with about just under $322,000 left in her account. That’s about a tenth of Baker’s campaign bankroll.
Healey also won’t face re-election until 2018.
Unlike Baker, Healey has been spending more than she’s been raising.
