Fueled by
two strong debate performances, GOP presidential contender Carly Fiorina quadrupled her fundraising over the summer.
Figures released by her campaign boast:
The $6.8 million collected between July 1 and September 30 puts the former Hewlett Packard CEO in third place among rivals who've released their fundraising totals so far.
The campaign team of retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson says it raised a whopping $20 million, while the campaign of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz reports it raised $12.2 million in the same period,
The Hill reports.
Fiorina ended September with $5.5 million in cash reserves, her spokeswoman's tweet notes.
In the quarter ending in September, Fiorina also out-raised Florida's Sen. Marco Rubio, who saw his fundraising drop over the summer, USA Today reports, collecting about $6 million during the July-to-September quarter, and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who raised $2.5 million.
Several other candidates in the GOP race, including former Florida governor Jeb Bush, have not released their fundraising totals. Candidates have until Thursday to do so.
According to USA Today, Fiorina has spent roughly a third of the money she's' raised — a far slower rate of spending than other Republicans, including Rubio and Paul, who's gone through nearly $2 for every $1 he took in.
