Obama raises $181 million in September
President Barack
Obama and the Democrats raised $181 million in September — their largest
monthly haul since he launched his reelection bid, his campaign
announced Saturday.
"Some amazing news this morning: 1,825,813 people came together to
raise $181 million for this campaign in September," the campaign said on Twitter.
"If you gave $5, it helped. 98% of September's contributions were $250 or less, with an average contribution of $53," it said.
The figures combine the Obama
campaign's fund raising with Democratic National Committee efforts. The
amount fell short of the Obama and DNC's single-month record, set in
September 08, of $193 million. Romney has yet to make public his
fund-raising haul.
Obama campaign manager, Jim Messina, emailed supporters with the "huge news."
Messina emphasized that the campaign and DNC had pulled in more than 10 million donations in 2012, a record.
"Day in and day out, what gives
the President confidence and inspiration is knowing that you have his
back -- that matters," said Messina. "We're all going to do the best we
can over next 31 days to honor that support."
