Texas US Senate candidate Ted Cruz has now raised more for the Senate campaign than any other candidate in the race, including Lt. Gov. Dewhurst

AUSTIN—The Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate campaign today announced raising $1,057,953 in the third-quarter fundraising period, more than the campaign has raised in any other previous quarter. The Cruz campaign has now raised over $2.8 million, and has more than $2.4 million cash on hand.

Because of these remarkable fundraising totals:

Cruz has now raised more money for the Senate race than any other candidate in Texas. Cruz’s strongest financial quarter came after David Dewhurst entered the race.

Cruz has raised more money for the Senate race than the sitting Lt. Governor, despite the fact that virtually every lobbyist in the state is compelled to contribute to his campaign.

To date, the campaign has received contributions from 6,987 total donors, from 459 Texas cities, 166 counties, and all 50 States. The campaign is aggressively raising money across the nation, and sixty-five percent of the total money raised is from Texas.

“I am humbled and gratified by this incredible outpouring of support,” Cruz said. “All across Texas, and all across the nation, we’re seeing tremendous enthusiasm and excitement, as grassroots activists, Tea Party leaders, Republican Women, and trusted conservative leaders are all uniting behind our campaign.”

“With these remarkable fundraising totals and an energized grassroots army all across Texas, we will be able to get our message of fiscal responsibility to every primary voter in the state,” Cruz continued. “With their support, we’ll ensure that the next senator from Texas is a strong constitutional conservative -- ready to lead the effort to stop the Obama agenda and defend our liberty.”

Cruz is the only candidate in the country to be endorsed by Club for Growth PAC, Senate Conservatives Fund, and FreedomWorks PAC, as well as these four conservative senators: Jim DeMint, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Pat Toomey.
