Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-N.Y.) presidential campaign raised $3 million in the first quarter of 2019, her spokesperson announced Sunday, putting her behind other senators who are also running for the White House in 2020.

Gillibrand’s campaign ended the quarter with $10.2 million in cash on hand, the spokesperson, Meredith Kelly, said in a tweet.

“These fundraising totals mean Kirsten can continue to grow her operation in early states in ambitious ways, focused on introducing her to voters, building strong relationships and earning support in living rooms, tap rooms, coffee shops and college campuses,” Kelly added.

{mosads}Gillibrand’s first-quarter fundraising fell well short of fellow Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who have also announced 2020 presidential bids. Sanders raised more than $18 million, Harris raised more than $12 million and Warren raised $6 million in the first three months of the year.

Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who are also running for the White House, each raised more than $5 million during the period. 

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) had a haul of $9.4 million and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is expected to announce his presidential candidacy on Sunday, raised more than $7 million in the first quarter.
