In her 2010 re-election campaign, she raised over $13 million, 95% of it from individuals, the most for any congressional race in history. She had over 500,000 contributors from all over the country, so her appeal is far and wide.
She kicked her opponent’s ass so badly in all the debates that the press wouldn’t even report on them it was so embarrassing for the democrat.
The liberals threw everything they had at her, raising almost $10 million for her challenger but she still won by 13 percentage points.
She represents my district. I believe most donations were under $40 as well.
