South Bend Mayor Buttigieg raised over $7 million for 2020 campaign
South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Monday that his presidential exploratory committee raised over $7 million in the first quarter of 2019.
That fundraising haul covers the period between April and January 23rd, when the 37-year-old mayor announced his longshot campaign for president."This is just a preliminary analysis, but our team’s initial report shows we raised over $7 million dollars in Q1 of this year," Buttigieg wrote on Twitter. "We are out-performing expectations at every turn. I'll have a more complete analysis later, but until then: a big thank you to all our supporters.
The number is likely to put Buttigieg in the fundraising upper echelon of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls. Some of Buttigieg's rivals have reported large first-day cash hauls but have yet to release first quarter estimates. Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke raised $6.1 million in the wake of his campaign launch, while Sen. Bernie Sanders raised $5.9 million on his first day as a 2020 presidential candidate. Sen. Kamala Harris raised $1.
