Paul nets more than $5 million in third-quarter fundraising

{mosads}Candidates must report final third-quarter figures to the Federal Election Commission by Oct. 15.

Earlier this month, Paul’s campaign announced that it had netted more than $1 million in a Constitution Day “money bomb” fundraiser. Paul has used these grassroots fundraisers, which encourage his online network of supporters to give over short bursts, to infuse cash into his campaign.

“Our campaign continues to grow in strength and numbers, and the success of these truly grassroots events is a telling example of Dr. Paul’s support,” Benton said. “Our rising poll numbers and successful fundraising demonstrate that Dr. Paul’s strong message of Constitutionally-limited government, a traditionally Republican non-interventionist foreign policy and a return to sound money is clearly resonating with the American people.”
