Crist raises $2 million in 4th quarter
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Charlie Crist raised more than $2 million in the fourth quarter and has more than $7.5 million cash on hand, his campaign said this morning.
“We have received phenomenal and broad support from Florida voters,” said campaign manager Eric Eikenberg. “We continue to get unwavering fundraising donations as our supporters help us spread Governor Crist’s positive message of less government, low taxes, and a market based approach to health care. As the next U. S. Senator from Florida, Charlie Crist will continue to fight for what is best for all Floridians and will work to fix the broken government in Washington.”
The campaign did not break down primary/general numbers but a spokeswoman said the bulk can be used for the primary. Crist's numbers are on par with the 3rd quarter, when he took in $2.4 million.
Rival Marco Rubio has not yet released his 4Q haul.
