Gay Marriage Supporters Raise $2.7 Million to Defeat Repeal Effort
10/13/2009 4:00 PM ET  

Campaign finance figures for Stand for Marriage Maine, the group leading the repeal effort, are also expected to be filed today.

Supporters of Maine's gay marriage law say they're raised nearly $2.7 million from about 12,000 donors in their campaign to defeat Question 1 on the state's November 3 ballot.

The group NO on 1/Protect Maine Equality released the figures today, the deadline for political action committees to file campaign finance reports with state regulators.

The group is seeking to defeat an attempt by opponents of Maine's gay marriage law to overturn it at the ballot box.  Campaign finance information for Stand for Marriage Maine, which is leading the effort to repeal the law, is expected to be filed today as well.
