Pence leads Gregg, Boneham

The Pence camp has deep pockets when it comes to fundraising.

Third quarter campaign finance reports were due at noon Monday, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mike Pence, R-6th District, lead the pack with more than $2.9 million raised. Democratic candidate John Gregg collected just more than $1 million and Libertarian candidate Rupert Boneham reported just more than $15,000.

The reporting period includes all funds submitted from July 1 to Sept. 30.

“Over the past few months, Mike’s positive, issues-based vision and roadmap to make Indiana the state that works have drawn thousands of Hoosiers to invest time, talent and resources,” campaign manager Kyle Robertson said in a press release. “We are grateful to have the continued outpouring of support from Hoosiers in all corners of the state as we enter the final weeks of the campaign.”  

The Gregg campaign released a similar statement, emphasizing that the median individual donation was $40.

“I continue to be honored and humbled by the support that Hoosiers have given my campaign,” Gregg said in a press release.  “I have taken my message of creating jobs, strengthening education and bipartisan cooperation to every corner of the state, and today’s report shows that the message is resonating with voters throughout Indiana.”
