Romney Raises Over $14 Million In Third Quarter

Mitt Romney has raised over $14 million in the third quarter of campaign fundraising, the former Massachusetts Governor’s Presidential campaign announced Friday.

The sum brings Romney’s total amount of contributions to $32 million, all of which will be used in the GOP primary.

“We are proud of the $32 million we have raised for the campaign so far,” Spencer Zwick, the campaign’s National Finance Chair, said in a statement. ”This is just the start of the effort to help fuel Mitt Romney’s message that will defeat President Obama next November.”

The sum is $4 million more than Romney raised in the third quarter of the previous election cycle.

To date, Romney leads the GOP in total funds raised. According to media reports, Texas Governor Rick Perry raised $17 million in the third quarter.

On Thursday, President Barack Obama announced that his campaign had secured $70 million this summer.
