Among the two candidates competing in the Democratic primary for the U.S. House seat, Berkowitz has raised far more campaign money than Diane Benson.

Berkowitz — who brought in over four times as much in the same period — reported money from Alaska donors in addition to national money from sources such as unions, Planned Parenthood and congressional Democrats.
