IA-SEN: Iowa Democrat tops Ernst in third-quarter fundraising for Senate race
An Iowa Democrat outraised incumbent Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) in the third quarter of 2019 in the Hawkeye State’s competitive Senate race.
Theresa Greenfield, who launched her campaign to unseat Ernst in June, said she raised more than $1.1 million in the year’s third quarter, compared with reports that Ernst raised just under $1 million in the same span.
The Democrat's campaign, which is refusing donations from PACs, said its average online donation for the quarter was less than $16 and that 92 percent of all contributions received were for $100 or less. Donations to the campaign have come from all of Iowa’s 99 counties.
“It’s clear that the momentum and energy is on our side to flip this Senate seat, and I’m so proud of what our grassroots campaign has already been able to accomplish to lay the groundwork to win this race next year,” said Greenfield.
