Tim Canova, a law professor at Nova Southeastern University, reported raising $1.7 million between April 1 and June 30, while Wasserman Schultz brought in $1.3 million.

Canova's campaign contributions more than tripled in the second quarter. In the first three months of the year, he raised about $559,000.

Despite Canova’s fundraising burst, he ended May with $986,344 on hand, compared with $1.6 million for Wasserman Schultz.
