US Senate candidate Rob Portman continues to do well in the fundraising department:
The Portman for Senate Campaign today announced that it ended the third fundraising quarter with more than $5.14 million cash-on-hand. The campaign raised $1.3 million in the third quarter and doubled its total number of individual donors to nearly 7,000; total receipts for the cycle amount to $6.23 million.
Here is a handy breakdown:
BY THE NUMBERS
$6.23 million: Total receipts for cycle
$5.14 million: Cash-on-Hand
$1.3 million: Amount raised in 3rd quarter
$4.71 million: Total amount raised by end of 3rd quarter filing
6,943: Total number of individual contributors
3,742: Individual donors in 3rd quarter
77%: Percentage of total contributions from Ohioans
It is clear that Portman will have the resources to compete in both the primary and the general election.
Nice work.
