Except for a $16,300 personal loan from Scarcelli, all of the contributions came from a broad cross-section of individuals and businesses that are supporting her campaign.
Wiggins said Scarcelli's financial showing puts the campaign on solid footing to generate even more support and build a strong, grass-roots effort for the June Primary. "We set an ambitious goal in the first period of the campaign and we are happy to have exceeded it," she said. "We are already back at work on the campaign and fundraising effort with a similarly aggressive goal for the next period. Rosa is running against a field of better-known political veterans, and she knew she had to demonstrate that she is a determined, viable candidate in this race, and she's done it."
About Rosa Scarcelli: Scarcelli, 40, Democratic candidate for governor, is the owner and CEO of Stanford Management that provides quality, affordable housing in more than 30 Maine communities and 14 counties. A native of Wilton, Scarcelli said she wants to use her business skills to help create a better climate in Maine for job creation and growth. She lives in Portland with her husband Thom and their three children ages 13, 10 and 9.
