Mitt Romney’s joint fund-raising committee announced Monday that it raised $106.1 million in June, the second-highest single-month total for a presidential candidate in history.

The haul is $35 million more than President Obama collected in the same period, according to a report by Politico.

The official announcement from the Romney campaign followed news reports last week that his committee had collected more than $100 million. Obama holds the record -- $150 million in September 2008 -- but raised only $71 million last month.

On the heels of Romney’s fund-raising victory over Obama in May, a second straight winning month inspired confidence in his camp. Romney’s national finance chairman, Spencer Zwick, crowed in a press release that the June total is “a statement from voters that they want a change of direction in Washington.”

“Voters of all stripes -- Republicans, independents and Democrats -- have made it clear that President Obama has not lived up to the promises of his last campaign,” Zwick said. “Mitt Romney’s message of restoring economic security and rebuilding our middle class is clearly resonating across the country. In the months to come, these resources will be crucial to highlighting the difference between President Obama’s broken promises and Mitt Romney’s plan to get America on the right track again.”

In an apparent effort to dispel the notion that Romney is funded mostly by large donations, the campaign reported 94 percent of its June contributions were $250 or less. The Romney campaign also sought to project a broad base of support, claiming donations from all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
