In a little more than three months, U.S. Senator Ted Cruzs presidential campaign has raised more than $14.2 million from over 175,000 contributors. Combined with the $37 million raised by a political action committee backing Cruz, the Texas lawmakers presidential aspirations will be supported by a $51 million war chest.
The grassroots energy and support we are seeing is overwhelming, Cruz said in a statement. In Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina and all across the country we are seeing courageous conservatives coming together for real change. Were reassembling the (Ronald) Reagan coalition from conservatives to libertarians to people of Faith and with the help of so many supporters, we will be able to deliver our optimistic message all across the country.
This website wrote back in January of Cruzs path to victory in early-voting South Carolina and these fundraising numbers will go a long way in making sure he gets his message out here and in other early-voting states.
In fact Cruzs impressive haul guarantees hell be one of the top tier GOP candidates through Super Tuesday (March 1, 2016), when twelve states hold Republican primary or caucus elections.
Our thoughts on Cruz at this stage of the race? As we noted in our post assessing his chances theres a lot to like about the guy
although there are certainly things to dislike, too. So far, he remains one of the few GOP candidates wed consider getting behind
in spite of his occasional missteps.
kick azz and take names. All the way!
awesome — hope this helps generate buzz and secure more donors.
This is great news! Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen and especially to those, like 2nd DivisionVet who have worked very hard. Hats off to Patton Bastogne, also.
GO CRUZ!!

He’s the only real conservative in the pack of pubbies!
How many conservatives does a pack of pubbies make?
LOL!
Love that term I made up, “pack of pubbies.”
If only this whole pack of pubbies could packed a peck of pickled peepers like Peter Piper!
I heard the other day that Hillary’s 45 million of so was a record..
And if THAT was a record... THIS blows that away!
GO CRUZ!
Trump is clearing the way for Ted.
Cruz is the right stuff!
I am by no means “Big Bucks”, but I have thrown him some coin, and will continue to do so. Go Ted!
BUMP
Yep and you forgot to add “and Donald Trump” at the end there.
Tagline.
Hillary took in $45million this quarter. Cruz took in $10million. The $50million includes his PACs.
Hopefully he’s got campaign managers that know what to do with the money.
I deal with them from time to time as a bundler. They seem professional to me.
IIRC, Ted Cruz has quite a few country stars backing him, but I haven’t made a list as that’s not my favorite genre anymore.
