Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam raised $229,000 in the last quarter for his agriculture commissioner campaign, bringing his total haul to $975,000. He has $860,000 on hand.

"Despite difficult economic times and a busy summer for Floridians, we continue to build broad support for our campaign. I am extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed," Putnam said. "I'm proud to have the agriculture community unified behind our campaign and we are committed to running a balanced campaign that builds a grassroots network that is second to none."
