DescriptionTAMPA - U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, D-Miami, raised $1.2 million in the second quarter of this year in his U.S. Senate campaign, bringing cash raised since the campaign began to more than $3 million, his campaign announced Tuesday.

The total includes $347,000 held over from Meek's former U.S. House campaign fund.

Meek's totals are respectable but may appear less impressive after his likely Republican opponent, Gov. Charlie Crist, announces his fundraising totals. Crist, who set political fundraising records in his 2006 race for governor, is likely to announce a far higher total.

"We know we're not going to raise the kind of money Charlie Crist will. We just need to be competitive, and we are," Meek campaign strategist Ana Cruz said.
