It didn't match her first quarter fundraising haul, but the $1.5 million New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand raised over the past three months isn't too shabby.
The New York Daily News is reporting that likely primary rival Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney raised $577,000 during the second quarter and had $1.7 million cash on hand as of June 30.
But in another sign of the Democratic party establishment's commitment to boosting Gillibrand's 2010 election chances, the White House is bringing her along for President Barack Obama's appearance before the NAACP's annual convention in New York City on Thursday. Gillibrand already spoke at the convention on Monday, part of a continuing effort to woo African-Americans and other influential New York City Democratic constituencies since her appointment to the Senate post in January.
No Republican has yet declared for the Senate race, but Rep. Peter T. King, who has expressed some interest, reported $1.3 million in cash on hand at the end of June.
