Cruz “Sustainers” Fuel the Field Operation Each Month
HOUSTON, Texas — The Cruz for President campaign today announced it has raised $26.5 million since its campaign launch six months ago, with just over $12.2 million coming in during the third quarter. The campaign showed sustained momentum by doubling its total donations during the period, receiving 185,000 Q3 contributions for a total of more than 362,000 over the course of the campaign. The average donation during the third quarter was $66.
The campaign has also secured more than 6,000 “sustainers” – donors who have pledged to give a recurring monthly amount to the campaign. The sustainers provide enough recurring revenue to cover all expenses every month for Cruz’s entire field operation across the country, which includes the first four early states, as well as the 23 additional states and territories where the campaign is currently organized. In September, the campaign announced it has named more than 500 leadership team members throughout the nation, far ahead of any other Republican candidate in the race.
“We are thrilled to see a grassroots wave of support for our campaign gaining momentum all over the country,” Cruz said. “Not only are we seeing a surge of new donors and recurring donors to our campaign, but also continued growth of our organizations in the early states and all across the country. Americans are ready for real change, and I am ready to stand with them to take on the Washington Cartel and return power to the American people. We have both the financial and organizational resources to compete for the long haul and to take our optimistic message all across the country.”
Cruz has one or more donors from 58 percent of the zip codes in America, a 10 percent growth from the second quarter.
In the last 24 hours of the quarter, the campaign raised more than $1 million, following the similar $1 million surge in fundraising that was generated in the 48 hours following the second debate.
Cruz continues to stand at the top of GOP leaders in social engagement, which remains crucial to targeting new and low-dollar donors. More than 2,602,036 unique visitors have come to Cruz’s website since the campaign launch. He has also gathered more than 418 million impressions on Facebook, more than 215.6 million impressions on Twitter, and has been tweeted about more than 6 million times since the campaign launch.

And he gets to keep whatever he does not use I believe, nice payday for his time spent if he does not make the next round as a prime front line contender with more than just words
People have heard all the words, soaring rhetoric, they want action!
And he has no experience, at least mot what this job requires and we cannot afford to learn on the job!
I love this guy and he has mega talent and charisma, but he needs a dose of charisma
Loved the way he reduced the sierra club President to tears and truth
Are You Experienced?
Wait, he has charisma but needs more charisma?
Ted is long haul persuasive.
Never stops chipping away.
No, lived in Chicago for over 15 years and saw a dirty political system in action daily (no pun intended)
Yes, to persude the fickle public.
He RULES in the confines of a courtroom.
Need a dose of populism to win the know nots
Call 1-800-Wah-Waah.
I grew up in “Little Chicago”
Lol. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Any Fool that voted for the Chicago gang was fool or part of the gang
Anytime you feel the need to debate on facts and not fantasy let me know
Your call
I voted Republican, only way I roll
Next, nice try son, tell your dad to come back with you next time...
I am.
I have seen the sunrise, from the bottom of the sea.
Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist. Huge Cruz fan and decent contributor here.)
Perhaps you are jaded by Chicago politics
I voted for Cruz 3 times to get him this far just to see him kick in teeth.
Then somebody says plate, or plate of shrimp...
It’s all like this lattice..
LOL
Great film.
Off to bed my FRiend
Cruz is PURE conservative and tough as a cob
For Conservative Review ratings, they are compiling many years worth of actions, not one year, to prevent career politicians from voting conservatively on their re-election year to bump their ratings in order to fool their constituents back home.

I put to you the same question I honestly put to all Cruz supporters...
Just exactly what has he done in a business or other context where he has demonstrated the requisite skills to lead anything beyond a discussion
That’s all I want to know, what has he done in his life that gives him the skills to lead this country forward, form teams, share his expertise and insight, use his connections worldwide to make things happen versus political gridlock while everybody gets up and makes speeches...
Otherwise you are bringing a feather to a gunfight
