[img_assist|nid=312|title=U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Somerville)|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=128|height=180]U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Somerville) reported $890,934.73 cash on hand after bringing in a second quarter fundraising haul of $158,509.01 in total contributions, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Capuano has raised $616,698.46 in total contributions so far this election cycle

The FEC report shows a fundraising uptick for Capuano since 2006. At the midway point of that year he had $572,766.76 cash on hand and had received $558,034.28 in contributions for the cycle. In the second quarter of that year, however, he received $157,430.00 in contributions - a figure almost identical to this quarter's take.

The Somerville Democrat is running unopposed this year, so he spent a scant $48,991.35 on operating expenditures. This allowed Capuano to add more than $100,000 to his war chest. (Capuano reported $786,584.39 cash on hand at the end of the first quarter.)

Capuano, who has been rumored to be interested in a run for the U.S. Senate if a seat were to open up, did not give much money to other Democrats or the party this quarter. His only political contribution was $2,300 to Mike Lumpkin, the Democrat running in California's 52nd district.

Capuano did give $1,200 to the Battle of Bunker Hill Parade Committee, as well as $250 to the Cambridge Democratic City Committee and $500 to the Somerville Democratic Committee.
