Carson Campaign Expects To Raise Nearly $20 million This Quarter
Via CNN:
“Ben Carson’s presidential campaign says it’s close to having raised $20 million in the traditionally slow summer fundraising quarter, a figure that would be the largest announced haul of any Republican so far this cycle and give the insurgent new political durability.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who has never held public office, said in a fundraising email to supporters Saturday that his campaign was “on the verge of our biggest month ever — a whopping $10 million dollars raised.” The campaign has previously said that he raised $9 million total in July and August, and the $20 million figure was confirmed by campaign spokesman Doug Watts.
Carson’s numbers cannot be independently verified until he files a report on his finances next month, and it is also not yet known how much money it cost for Carson to raise that $20 million. Heavily reliant on low-dollar fundraising — donations that are less than $200 — Carson burned through much of his cash in his opening months on fundraising costs, including building contributor email lists.”
