Beto O’Rourke Raises $9.4 Million In First Quarter

The Dallas News reports:

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke raised $9.4 million in the first 18 days of his campaign, his team announced Wednesday. The haul came from 218,000 contributions and the average donation size was $43, according to his campaign.

Candidates are required to file reports detailing how much they raised in the first-quarter of the year to the Federal Election Commission by April 15.

But some are choosing to release some details early, most notably U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who announced Tuesday that he raised $18.2 million in the 41 days between launching his campaign in February and the end of the first quarter on March 31.
