Pete Buttigieg hauls in $24.7M during final quarter of 2019

Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign raised $24.7 million in the final quarter of 2019, bringing his total for the year to $76 million and solidifying his status in the Democratic presidential field as a formidable fundraiser.

“We did not have the fundraising lists of a Washington politician or someone who had run for president before. We certainly did not have a candidate who had the personal wealth of a millionaire or billionaire,” Buttigieg campaign manager Mike Schmuhl said in an email to supporters Wednesday.
