Connolly Keeps Rolling

Boston City Councilor John Connolly banks so much coin, I'm going to start calling him J.C. Pennies. Here is the reported cash-on-hand for the other six at-large candidates, at the end of July:

Felix Arroyo: $76,408

Stephen Murphy: $41,590

Ayanna Pressley: $39,838

Michael Flaherty: $18,851

Will Dorcena: $2697

Sean Ryan: $711

TOTAL: $180,095

John "J.C. Pennies" Connolly: $225,256

By the way, it would have been fair of me to point this out a couple weeks ago, when I noted that Connolly leads all city councilors in contributions received from registered state lobbyists; he really receives no more from lobbyists as a percentage of his total fundraising than most others.

In any event, the other six did manage to collectively outraise J.C. in July, $22,808 to $17,230.
