Maryland gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore has set a private fundraiser at the Martha’s Vineyard home of Oscar-winning filmmaker Spike Lee.
A spokesman for the Moore campaign told CNBC in an email that they're not taking anything for granted.
"In just over a year, Wes Moore and our campaign have garnered more endorsements, more donors, more supporters, and more momentum through Wes' unique background and vision for the state, supported by a world-class campaign operation," the spokesman said in an email."We are taking nothing for granted, which is why we have over 2,000 volunteer shifts scheduled for the final weekend of the campaign.
While it's unclear who would attend the Moore fundraiser, the former Robin Hood CEO has amassed a lot of money. State election records show the Moore campaign raised over $1.9 million throughout the first half of the year. Since early June, it has garnered more than $450,000. Records show that donors who previously gave $6,000 to the Moore campaign include Louis Bacon, the founder of Moore Capital Management ; Frank Bisignano, the CEO of Fiserv; Stuart Ingis, the chairman of Venable; and Ted Leonsis, the CEO Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns and operates numerous Washington sports teams, including the Washington Capitals.
