Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer is reporting her strongest fund-raising quarter so far as she raised $2.4 million in the first three months of 2010.

Boxer’s campaign says she has about $8.7 million in the bank. That figure will likely get a big boost next week when President Obama attends a fundraiser in Los Angeles for Boxer and the Democratic National Committee.

Boxer, who is seeking a fourth term, faces little competition in the Democratic primary. She’ll be able to save most of her haul for the November general election.

Meanwhile, her Republican competitor likely will have little in reserve after a spirited GOP primary that features Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and former congressman Tom Campbell.
