Amy Klobuchar Raises $4.8 Million In Third Quarter

(Politico) MAGGIE SEVERNS 10/07/2019 05:21 PM Democrat Amy Klobuchar raised $4.8 million between July and the end of September her campaign announced Monday a total that bested the Minnesota Senators haul from the previous quarter by $1 million. Klobuchars third-quarter fundraising was a fraction of the amount raised by top Democratic candidates such as Bernie Sanders who raised the most of any candidate in the field $25.3 million. But it is likely enough to keep Klobuchars campaign functioning as she attempts to secure more support. Klobuchar has qualified for the October Democratic debate and has crossed the donor threshold for the November debate giving her opportunities to keep making the case for her presidential bid to a national audience. She is currently polling at 1 percent on average according to Real Clear Politics. Klobuchar had 105000 donors in the third quarter and her average contribution was $29.78 according to her campaign which said it has used the money to make aggressive investments in our early state campaign infrastructure.
