Ryan raises $15.4 million in third quarter for GOP

House Speaker Paul Ryan raised $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, lifting his total fundraising haul so far this year to $48.2 million, much of which is being used to help vulnerable House Republicans hang on to their seats.

Ryan, R-Wis., has been Speaker for less than a year and took the job after first warning the GOP that he would not follow in predecessor John Boehner’s footsteps by spending weekends on fundraising trips, and would instead go home to his family in Janesville.
