Paul reports raising more than $4 million in past quarter
ASSOCIATED PRESS ^ | Oct 5 | BY BRUCE SCHREINER

Posted on 10/05/2021 6:27:01 PM PDT by RandFan

Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul posted his best fundraising haul in the past quarter, surpassing the amounts he raised in any three-month period from his two previous successful Senate campaigns in Kentucky, his campaign said Tuesday.

Paul, who is seeking another term next year, raised more than $4 million in the period between July 1 and Sept. 30. The quarter began with Democrat Charles Booker launching his bid to unseat Paul, potentially setting up a battle between candidates with starkly different philosophies. Paul is a libertarian-leaning conservative while Booker touts an activist role for the federal government.

Booker, a former state lawmaker, said in a social-media post Tuesday that he has raised $1.7 million from more than 55,000 contributions across Kentucky since entering the campaign.

Thank you Freepers and anyone who chipped in!

The Socialist running against Rand is going to get the biggest and possibly a record beating for a Senate candidate in Kentucky!

I cannot WAIT!

Rand is WAY more of a keeper than Ditch.

Rand Paul should go home. Working 2 terms is enough. Don’t become a career politician.

He is in good shape for re-election.

Some are even saying it’s over already however we cannot be complacent.

The Socialist running against him will raise millions from liberals looking to defeat Rand and will run damaging ads seeking to trash his reputation in the Commonwealth (and elsewhere).

We will see how this goes...

He has addressed this before and while in favor of term limits he says if they dont exist then why should he term limit himself and you lose one of the “good” senators ?

A senator who actually fights. Do you want to lose him?

Hell NO!

He is very smart not to term limit himself and made this clear in 2010. He intends to stick around until he can perhaps capture the presidency.

It took Biden 36 years. Rand is a spring chicken.

I believe Paul is sincere in his actions.

I hope the filthy scum who comprise pretty much every other Republican politician will take note and pretend harder to be decent human beings by emulating him.

I do like how he doesn’t cut Fauci any slack.

You should perhaps note his endorsements. He does try and help the ones he likes.

He has a well funded PAC.

He came close in TN with a fellow doctor although Haggerty who won doesn’t seem as bad as I feared (for now...)

As long as Fauxcy is a Deep State Operative, Rand should be there to give him a hard time.

[Fauxcy should be doing Hard Time, but we all know that that ain’t happening.]

80+

He’s had superficial “work” done above the neck.

His brain is still broken though....

Yeah he doesn’t look it. I had to double check.

He must REALLY enjoy all the attention he’s getting and perversely his role in all this to be sticking around in his job.

He could easily retire or even semi-retire and take corporate directorships for 2 days a week.

I don’t understand it quite frankly.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I believe he genuinely thinks his gain of function research was a success.

Didn’t Fauci have a book ready to go but then the story came out about his role in Wuhan funding and it got pulled?

I’m sure I saw the book cover but it disappeared!

Is he even allowed to do a book as a public official?

They all publish books, and even if the books stink they make a ton of money from them.
It’s another scam for payoffs.
