The figure excludes the millions raised by groups that support the Republican presidential candidate.
President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have not yet released their fundraising figures for June.
Mr Obama spent the day in Ohio as he launched the first bus tour of his campaign for re-election in November.
In May, the Romney campaign out-fundraised his rival, attracting $77m against the Obama campaign's $60m.
Mr Obama has been warning supporters that he is in danger of becoming the first sitting president in history to be outspent by his opponent.
According to Mr Romney's campaign aides, much of the money raised in June came from new donors, Politico reported.
Several states, including the key battlegrounds of Colorado, Michigan and Ohio exceeded their fundraising goals, they added.

Meanwhile, Mr Obama pitched a positive message on Ohio's economic recovery and the comeback of the state's car industry.
Ohio's unemployment rate of 7.3% is well below the national average of 8.2%.
Ohio is a key battleground in presidential elections - no Republican has ever won the White House without capturing it.
A Quinnipiac University poll of Ohio voters last week had Mr Obama leading his rival by 47% to 38% in the state, following a barrage of attacks on Mr Romney's business record.
"I'm betting you're not going to lose interest," Mr Obama told voters in Maumee, Ohio. "I'm betting you're not going to lose heart. I still believe in you, I'm betting on you."
The president also touched on his landmark healthcare reform act, most of which was upheld by the Supreme Court last week. "It is going to make the vast majority of Americans more secure," he told supporters. Mr Romney has pledged to repeal the law if he wins office.
The former Massachusetts governor, who is on holiday with his family in the state of New Hampshire, said the president had "no new answers" for the economy.
On Friday, Mr Obama will finish his bus tour with appearances in Poland, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With the economy such a major issue in the coming election, both presidential campaigns will be eagerly awaiting figures to be released on Friday showing whether there was any rise in hiring by US employers during June.
A bench of Justices G S Singhvi and S J Mukhopadhaya brushed aside the Kerala government's objection to the former CM seeking a copy of the action taken report submitted in sealed cover to the high court, which is monitoring the investigation.
The bench said the petition brought out the "unfathomably fast changing values of life" and asked the state to file its response within four weeks.
The state's counsel said the petition had become infructuous as the police had filed charge sheet in the case and that the petitioner was entitled to a copy of it.
But Achuthanandan's counsel Shekhar Naphade said his client was not taking it as an adversarial litigation and only wanted to highlight how young girls were exploited by influential persons, 25 of whom were now occupying high positions in the state government. He said even after filing of charge sheet, this case needed to be monitored by a constitutional court.
The bench said, "You (Achuthanandan) have been a people's representative for years and hence, entitled to espouse the public cause... We appreciate the case but the limited resources are keeping our hands tied."
Naphade said a copy the sealed cover action taken report was sought by Achuthanandan for the limited purpose of assisting the HC which had decided to monitor the case but had refused to part with a copy of the report.
In August 1997, a social organization 'Anweshi Women's Counseling Centre' had filed a complaint alleging that an ice-cream parlour was being run as a brothel in Nadakkavu area of Kozhikode where women were being exploited by influential persons.
In his petition, Achuthanandan claimed that though present minister P K Kunhalikutty and his brother-in-law K A Rauf were allegedly involved in the sex scandal, both had allegedly paid huge sums to the victims to buy their silence. "Even though the crime against these two persons was registered as early as on January 30, 2011 and February 3, 2011, and a special investigation team was constituted, no investigation worth mentioning was done," he said.
"The ostensible reason being the change in government having taken place from May 2011 and Kunhalikutty becoming cabinet minister wielding considerable clout in the government," he said.
