You know what they say about saving announcements for the Friday afternoon news cycle.
Factor in that it’s Friday the 13th…well, you get the picture.
Former Congressman Christopher Shays released his second quarter fundraising totals just after 2 p.m. for his Senate campaign.
The Republican, who is attempting to mount a political comeback against the heavily-favored and uber wealthy Linda McMahon in the GOP primary race, raised $530,811 during the months of April, May and June.
Of that total, $364,404 came after the May 18 state party convention won by McMahon, who enjoyed a 2-to-1 advantage in delegates.
Official fundraising totals from the Federal Election Commission don’t become available until July 15.
