Inslee raises over $3 million in second quarter

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) raised more than $3 million for his presidential bid during the second quarter, according to his campaign.

Inslee’s campaign said the haul came from 96,400 donations, with the average contribution being roughly $32 in the second quarter. 

The haul was bigger than the $2.25 million his presidential campaign raised in the first quarter, though Inslee had announced his 2020 bid in early March, more than two months into the quarter. 

{mosads}The announcement comes as candidates ready their second-quarter fundraising numbers ahead of the Federal Election Commission’s filing deadline on Monday. 

Inslee, whose campaign platform is dedicated to combatting climate change, trails a number of other 2020 hopefuls in fundraising. 

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg brought in $24.8 million in the second quarter, while former Vice President Joe Biden fundraised $21.5 million in that period. 

However, Inslee does lead a number of other presidential candidates, like Andrew Yang and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), who both brought in $2.8 million during the second quarter. 

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) respectively raised $2 million and $1 million during that period.
