Romney Raised Over $18 Million In Second Quarter
Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 9:59AMMitt Romney raised $18.25 million in the second fundraising quarter, the former Massachusetts Governor’s Presidential campaign announced Wednesday morning.
“Voters are responding to Mitt Romney’s message that President Obama’s policies have failed and that we need new leadership in Washington,” Spencer Zwick, Romney’s National Finance Chairman, said in a statement. “Our fundraising for the second quarter represents the strong support Mitt Romney has across the country.”
The strong figure bolsters Romney’s reputation as the GOP frontrunner. Numbers released by Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Herman Cain and Ron Paul have failed to exceed $5 million. Rep. Michele Bachmann has not yet released her data.
The Romney campaign has reported that they will use the entirety of the contributions for the primary campaigns. They have thus far spent 31 percent of what they earned.
Cash on hand contributions amounted for $12.6 million.
