Booker campaign says it raised more than $5 million in first quarter
Sen. Corey Booker's (D-N.J.) 2020 presidential campaign raised more than $5 million in the first quarter of 2019, it said Sunday in an email to supporters.
The campaign added that 82 percent of the donors were first-time contributors to Booker, that the average online contribution was $34 and that the campaign now has $6.1 million in cash on hand.

Booker's haul puts him behind those of several of his competitors, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Sanders led the field by raising $18.2 million in the first quarter, followed by Harris at $12 million, O'Rourke at $9.4 million and Buttigieg at $7 million.
