Clinton campaign announces $112 million haul in 2015

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign raised $37 million for the primary in the final quarter of 2015, her team announced in an email Friday.

The Democratic front-runner outpaced her third-quarter haul of $28 million, bringing the total amount of money her campaign raised in 2015 to $112 million.

She has spent much of her campaign war chest in a tougher-than-expected primary fight against Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton will head into the new year with less than $38 million cash on hand.

Clinton’s campaign boasted that 94 percent of the donations that came in between October and December were $100 or less, a benchmark typically used by candidates to tout their grassroots support.

Clinton also highlighted the fact that 60 percent of her campaign donors in the fourth quarter were women.

Her campaign raised an additional $18 million for the Democratic National Committee through the Hillary Victory Fund.

“Hillary for America set a new record for the best off-year fundraising of any non-incumbent in history,” the Clinton campaign’s email said.

Clinton’s team noted she had surpassed an initial goal of $100 million in primary contributions by the end of 2015.
