The Mystic businessman and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate says he recieved 95 donations — more than 90 percent of them from Connecticut residents.
“It is on behalf of the average Connecticut citizen that I have been working to ensure that a strong, progressive Democrat keeps Connecticut’s open Senate seat in November,” Alpert said in an email announcing his fundraising total. “And it precisely these concerned citizens and their small dollar contributions that make a genuine grassroots campaign like ours successful.”
Alpert says none of his contributions came from political action committees. The average donation was about $129 and 63 percent came in via his website.
