MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. -- The Kendrick Meek campaign raised over $1 million from more than 7,000 supporters in the fundraising quarter that ended on June 30

Of the 7,000 supporters, 85% gave $100 or less. While the number of individuals contributing to Kendrick's fight for middle class families grew by nearly 50% from the first to second quarter, 'Meltdown Mogul' Jeff Greene's campaign is sustained by a supporter of one (himself) and the fortune he made wrecking the middle class.

"Kendrick Meek is the only true Democrat in this race who has fought for middle-class Florida families his entire life. Kendrick's support is both wide and deep from everyday people who are working hard to elect a Democratic leader to represent Florida," said campaign manager Abe Dyk.

"From day one, we have built this campaign on hard work and grassroots support, and that effort will only grow," Dyk added.

Throughout Florida, Kendrick has hosted successful community-wide $20.10 fundraisers, with the most recent event taking place on Tuesday night in Quincy located in Gadsden County.
