Onorato sprints to cash lead

August 4, 2009

Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato raised about $840,000 in the past two months, ramping up a campaign cash machine that already was far ahead of his likely rivals in the 2010 governor's race.

Onorato's campaign account came $11,850 shy of $5 million, according to an e-mail he sent to supporters Monday. In the message, Onorato praised the term-limited Gov. Ed Rendell as "honorable" but said "folks want a governor with new ideas to create new jobs and to clean up Harrisburg."
