Arlington, VA (HNN) – Republican presidential candidate and Texas congressman Ron Paul’s run for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination reached another milestone on Thursday as it surpassed former GOP frontrunner Fred Thompson’s third quarter fundraising total.
With over one month still remaining in the fourth quarter, Congressman Paul has currently raised $9,757,382. By comparison, Fred Thompson took in $9,750,821 during the three-month period from July to September of this year.
“This milestone is the latest indication that Dr. Paul’s message of freedom, peace, and prosperity is resonating strongly with voters across the United States,” said Paul campaign spokesman Joe Seehusen. “New money means new support.”
The most recent polls also show Congressman Paul ahead of Fred Thompson in the critical early primary state of New Hampshire.
The Paul campaign has publicly set a $12 million fourth quarter fundraising goal, to be raised by December 31. Paul is also the first presidential candidate in history to make fundraising numbers publicly available in real-time.
Recently, Paul received news media widespread recognition for his record $4.2 million one-day fundraising haul on November 5. Over 37,000 citizens contributed in one single day.
