William CummingsSouth Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg raked in more than $24.7 million in political contributions in the final quarter of 2019, bringing his total for the year to more than $76 million, his campaign announced Wednesday.
"These figures are even more astounding considering that Pete started this race less than a year ago as an unknown candidate, with just a few staffers and zero dollars in the bank," Schmuhl wrote in his memo announcing the fundraising totals.Buttigieg leads 2020 rivals in Wall Street contributions Schmuhl said Buttigieg's resources have allowed him to open 35 offices with 100 organizers in Iowa, and 65 offices with more than 500 staffers nationwide.
With about $17 million raised, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is"a good chunk behind" where she was at the same point in the third quarter, when she brought in $24.6 million, according to an email her campaign sent to supporters last week. Warren has also dipped in recent polls after topping former Vice President Joe Biden, who has consistently led the race, in some national surveys.
