Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin surpasses previous governors’ annual fundraising records in a single quarter
, the PAC’s chairman and a senior adviser to Youngkin, said in a statement to the AP. “His commonsense approach to cutting taxes, backing the blue, empowering parents, and tackling our behavioral health crisis has united Virginians and he’s just getting started.”
All signs are pointing to an extraordinarily expensive cycle in a state that allows unlimited donations. House Democrats have already reporting raising $2.3 million for the second quarter, more than at the same point in 2021. House Democratic Leader Don Scott said earlier this month when the sum was disclosed that it showed “Democrats have a winning formula and the people are with us.”
Full details of the governor’s receipts and expenditures over the quarter will become clear once the PAC makes its public filing. But already available disclosures show the sum was powered in part by two individual $1 million donations. One came in April from GOP megadonor Thomas Peterffy, who attended a Florida fundraising event for Youngkin. Another came in May from a Texas education reformer, according to reporting from the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
