O'Malley relying heavily on Maryland for campaign cash.
Martin O'Malley is relying heavily on Marylanders to finance his long-shot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, an analysis of his most recent data shows, an indication that his campaign is struggling to build momentum in donor-heavy states such as California and New York.
The two-term governor collected 47 percent of his campaign cash from Maryland, according to a Baltimore Sun analysis of campaign finance reports for the second quarter. By contrast, Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign relied on his home state of Vermont for only 7 percent of his donations.
The outsized contribution from Maryland is a reflection in part of the early state of a contest that has been dominated by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton collected $47.5 million from April through June. Sanders raised $15 million; O'Malley picked up just over $2 million.
