Martin O’Malley super PAC nets disappointing haul

Generation Forward, the super PAC backing Martin O’Malley’s long-shot presidential bid, brought in just over $289,000 in the first half of 2015 — a disappointing haul for a candidate trailing both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in national and early-voting state polls.

The group said it spent around $83,000 over the period covered by Friday’s Federal Election Commission filing, mostly on get-out-the-vote consulting. That total doesn’t include additional spending on field staff in Iowa that’s not covered by this latest FEC report.

The single biggest donation came from Retail Systems and Services, a Maryland corporation, and the group’s biggest individual donor was John Deane of the Advisory Board Company, who gave roughly $66,500.
