Unpacking Mike Minogue’s millions

The Hamilton Republican on Monday reported sinking another $1 million into his campaign coffers, bumping the total amount of his own cash in the race to $18.3 million. Michael Minogue, the Republican nominee for governor of Massachusetts, has reported spending another $1 million into his campaign coffers, bringing his total to $18.3 million. This comes after Minogue set a new record for the highest spending in a single month by a gubernatorial candidate. Despite raising roughly $2.5 million from donors, Minogue has been draining his campaign account almost as quickly as he fills it. His campaign has suggested that his personal spending is a way to avoid the influence of special interests and taxpayers. However, history shows that self-funding can be a blessing and a curse, with former Governor Mitt Romney spending at least $6.3m on his successful bid for governor in 2002.
