EXCLUSIVE: KHAZEI’S CONGRESSIONAL CASH — Alan Khazei, a Democrat running for Congress, raised more than $500,000 in the first three weeks of his campaign. Khazei has also recruited 332 volunteers to his campaign to replace Rep. Joe Kennedy III in the House. He’s calling the group the “Khazei Corps.”
Khazei, who co-founded the nonprofit City Year, will report raising close to $367,000 through Sept. 30, the FEC filing deadline. In the two weeks since then, Khazei says he has raised around $135,000 — bringing his total to $502,000 through Oct. 14. Khazei officially entered the 4th District race in the last week of September, and has sworn off accepting corporate PAC money. Khazei also refused corporate cash when he ran for Senate in 2010 and 2012.
Khazei is one of five Democrats officially running for Kennedy’s seat. He’s also rolling out endorsements today from Colette Phillips, founder of Get Konnected of Brookline, and Hubie Jones, a civil rights leader and social justice activist from Newton.
