HOUSTON, Texas – Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced it raised $1 million in the first 9 days of the fourth quarter. Cruz’s impressive haul in just over a week comes off his successful third quarter fundraising, in which he pulled in more than $12 million. The early start in the fourth quarter brings his campaign’s total to more than $27.5 million.
“It certainly shows what kind of incredible support and enthusiasm we have for our campaign,” said campaign manager Jeff Roe. “But more than that, we have made the right investments in our fundraising infrastructure that ensures a sustained ability to raise the resources we need to be competitive in the early states and beyond.”
In 9 days, Cruz raised $1 million from roughly 20,000 donations of mostly $50 or less. Cruz also recently revealed his campaign has more than 6000 “sustainers”, donors who give monthly, that are able to fund his entire field operation across the country each month.
Wow! That is amazing.
Well its clearly over for Cruz. /s
Four affiliated super PACs supporting the presidential bid of Ted Cruz reported a fundraising haul of $37.8 million — a significant haul that puts the conservative Texas senator in the top fundraising tier.
The bulk of the money comes from seven individual donors. Keep the Promise I, which took in about $11 million, is funded almost entirely by Robert Mercer, the New York hedge fund magnate.
Keep the Promise II is fueled by a single $10 million donation from Toby Neugebauer, a Puerto Rico-based investor who is the son of Texas GOP Rep. Randy Neugebauer.
Keep the Promise III, which brought in $15 million, is sustained only by the Texas-based Wilks brothers, Farris and Dan, billionaires who made their fortunes in fracking, and their wives, JoAnn and Staci.

A fourth pro-Cruz super PAC, called Keep the Promise PAC, took in $1.8 million, nearly all from Texas-based donors, including Robert McNair, Sr., the chairman and CEO of the Houston Texans football franchise.
The Mercer-backed super PAC spent the most, shelling out $536,000. And most of that — $500,000 — went to CARLY for America, the super PAC backing Carly Fiorina.
