New York TimesMitt Romney’s presidential campaign saw substantial declines in fund-raising during the second quarter of this year from Massachusetts and Utah, the two states that fueled his earlier success with donors.
In Massachusetts, where Mr. Romney was governor for four years, donations fell 69 percent, dropping to $728,742 from $2.3 million in the previous reporting period. In Utah, where he was chief executive of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, his collections were off by 58 percent, decreasing to $1.2 million from $2.8 million, according to figures released yesterday.
The drops in those states would seem to suggest that Mr. Romney has tapped out the network of rich Mormons and wealthy financiers that drove him to lead other Republican candidates in the first reporting cycle, which ended in March. Contributions from employees of his former companies, Bain Consulting and Bain Capital, fell to $35,450 from more than $140,000.
