Johnson announces $27.5M third-quarter fundraising in record for Speaker

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced a $27.5 million fundraising haul for the third quarter of the year, a sum that is welcome news for Republicans hoping to keep control of the House as they enter the final stretch of the campaign.

The money Johnson raised from July through September includes $19.4 million to his campaign committees and $8.1 million for individual Republican members and candidates.

“In less than one year as Speaker, I’m thankful that we have been able to build a team and set new fundraising records that will ensure House Republicans can keep and grow our majority,” Johnson said in a statement alongside the fundraising announcement. “Now with less than one month until the most important election of our lifetimes, another strong quarter shows voters are motivated down the stretch and ready to elect Republicans up and down the ballot to fix our economy, secure the border, and restore peace through strength.”

Johnson’s political team said the sum amounts to the “highest amount raised by a Republican Speaker of the House in the third quarter of a presidential election year.” It also said he set monthly and quarterly online fundraising records.
