Clinton Raised $37M In Fourth Quarter
“We are now heading into Iowa and New Hampshire with the resources we need to be successful”, Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, said in a statement announcing the figures.
Since the campaign started in April, Clinton’s efforts in the Democratic primary process have netted her $112 million.
The Sanders campaign has not yet released its fourth-quarter figures.
It said she had raised $37 million for the primary campaign, the most for any non-incumbent in a non-election year, and $18 million for the Democratic Party in the fourth quarter.
But following a marathon, 11-hour hearing on the national security ramifications of her personal server use, Clinton emerged from the scandal relatively unscathed, and her campaign reported their most lucrative fundraising hour in the hour after the hearing. She has spent months crisscrossing the country to attend fundraising events that bring in up to $2,700 per person, the maximum donation allowed for the nominating contest. Clinton has headlined at least 174 fundraisers since beginning her campaign.
Clinton aides boasted on Friday that 94% of their donations were in increments of $100 or less and more than 60% of donations were from women.
She was elected to USA senate in 2001 and is the first ever American lady to win a public office seat. The presidential candidates have until January 31 to report such details to federal regulators. Ted Cruz of Texas said it had raised almost $20 million in the fourth quarter.
New York-based real estate tycoon Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate, is funding his own campaign, while his colleague Jeb Bush – whose campaign is struggling at this point – had crossed $100-million figure months ago.
