Just three months after the enactment of a sweeping financial regulatory overhaul bearing his name, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said he is having mixed success raising money from the financial services industry for his re-election campaign.

Campaign finance records show that Frank has received nearly $60,000 in campaign contributions since Wednesday from insurance and banking executives and their companies’ political action committees.
