John W. Olver—and announced that he has raised over $470,000 in the month of May and $3.7 million over the course of the campaign. Both numbers are Massachusetts primary fundraising records...

Ron Reagan (no relation to the former President), a Sarasota Republican who sponsored the law, says political parties are exempt from the law "because we rarely have a problem with political parties. It didn't matter what side you were on. We were not going to penalize them." But Weiser of the Brennan Center calls that position "discriminatory.
