Kevin McCarthy’s $104 million raised eclipses previous House GOP leaders

Published April 5, 2022 4:15pm ET



Rep. Kevin McCarthy is on track to raise more money this election cycle than any House Republican leader in history as the Californian eyes the speaker’s gavel.

McCarthy, the House minority leader, is slated to be elected speaker by GOP colleagues if Republicans win the majority in November. On Tuesday, he announced raising $31.5 million in the first quarter of this year, bringing his total haul for the 2022 cycle to $104 million. That figure surpasses the amount raised not just by previous Republicans to lead the House minority, but previous GOP speakers, including the two most recent: John Boehner and Paul Ryan.
