Quist Campaign Fundraising Tops $1.3 Million

[Donkees]

Excerpt:

Democratic candidate for Congress Rob Quist today released his first quarter of 2017 fundraising total.

"Just yesterday we crested $1.3 million in contributions," Quist said at a campaign event in Great Falls this morning.

His campaign says he raised nearly a million dollars in March alone, via more than 22,000 individual contributions, with an average donation of $40 each.

There's no evidence that the national Democratic party is spending on Quist's behalf, but groups affiliated with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders are backing him.

A national Republican super-PAC has spent at least $700,000 on television ads for Gianforte.

The Quist campaign today hinted that they expect Bernie Sanders to make an appearance in Montana on Quist's behalf.

4. I posted just the other day that an arm of the DNC has donated to his campaign.

I also think Perez is offering to campaign.

5. I just read that other thread about the DCCC and fundraising...

rather explanatory in many ways. Let's hope they get their shit together by next Jan/Feb for the '18 campaign.

3. I posted a couple of days ago about how much he is raising.

Impressive. And Due to the timing over a quarter of it is coming from out of state.
