Democratic challenger Manan Trivedi raised $433,000 in the third quarter, he told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“We’re really happy with that and it shows serious momentum for us,” Trivedi said Tuesday afternoon. “I’m so honored to have the support of a people-powered campaign.”
He didn’t say his cash on hand, but said his total raised thus far in the cycle is over $1.1 million.
His opponent, Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-Chester), has not yet announced his 3rd quarter fundraising numbers, but raised $341,000 and had $885,000 on hand at the end of the 2nd quarter June 30.
Trivedi was closer to Gerlach in cash on hand than any other Democratic challenger this cycle, but he still has a ways to go before he reaches his $1.4 million total from 2010, when he also ran against Gerlach.

Why is manny Running in PA when he Lives and Works in Washington DC as does his Wife he should be removed from the Ballot for Living Outside of PA One must at Least Live inside of PA to run for a PA Congress seat
It will be interesting to see how much, or more appropriately how little, came from people in the 6th Congressional District.
I find it hysterical how Dem’s are raining in $$ and the only reaction is to denounce them, challenge the authenticity of figures and bloat at the fact DCCC has pulled their ads. Know why?! Maybe the fact that Dem’s, middle class workers, teachers, parents, public service workers, labor, seniors, veterans and all the so many others really, truly see that the current congress isn’t working and lets make it work! That called what used to be soft $$. I am pleased and shocked by the dollars being brought in and the amount of donors contributing! Keep in up candidates.
No cash on hand figures. I suspect he is broke.
No she raised $520, 000
Isnt this the same release boockvar had?
$433K is impressive for a whole cycle, let alone a quarter.
I’ve seen a few Cong races where the total haul was $50K or less.
