Lamontagne has a little more than $150,000 on hand.

Lamontagne Senior Advisor Jim Merrill said, “Ovide’s numbers today reflect the beginning of a vibrant, grassroots campaign.”

Interestingly, Merrill was tough on Ovide rival Kelly Ayotte for raising more than three times that amount in her first quarter as a candidate. “It was the bare minimum of what she had to do,” Merrill said at the time of Ayotte’s $614,000 haul.

Merrill also announced the support of former U.S. Senator Gordon Humphrey.
