Legum’s New Line

Here’s a release just out from the campaign about our latest fundraising totals.

Legum For Delegate Raises $0 From State Lobbyists and PACs
Campaign has collected over $107,000 in total contributions this cycle

Judd Legum, candidate for State Delegate in Maryland’s District 30, reported raising $0 from state lobbyists and PACs for the period ending August 10. “Government should work for the people they represent, not for the special interests who line their pockets,” Legum said, “I have never taken money from state lobbyists or PACs, and I never will.”

Legum is the only candidate running in District 30 who has pledged to refuse contributions from state lobbyists and PACs.

Overall, Legum has raised $107,579.82 in total contributions including $98,927.26 in monetary contributions and $8,652.56 in in-kind contributions. As of the August 10 reporting date, the campaign maintained over $81,000 cash on hand.

The totals include robust and enthusiastic support in Maryland. The campaign has received 453 contributions from 314 individual Marylanders. About two-thirds of the contributions from Maryland came from within the boundaries of District 30.

This campaign is powered by individuals. If you want to get involved, sign up to volunteer here.

The team took water samples before and after significant rainfall at seven beaches and recreation spots along five rivers that feed the Chesapeake Bay, including two in Anne Arundel County.

Their goal was to gauge the impact of stormwater – one of the fastest-growing pollution sources in the Chesapeake Bay – on bacteria levels in the water
