Published April 13, 2016 2:55pm ET



House Speaker Paul Ryan set new fundraising records in the first quarter of 2016, raising an unheard of $17 million, and a total of $23 million since becoming speaker last fall.

“Team Ryan” reported Wednesday that it raised so much money so fast that it was able to transfer $11 million to the National Republican Congressional Committee, far more than former House Speaker John Boehner, himself a fundraising whiz, transferred in his three best quarters combined.
