DeSantis raises $15 million in third quarter for presidential campaign
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In his campaign for president in 2024, Gov. Ron DeSantis raised $15 million during the third quarter fundraising period between his campaign committee, leadership PAC, and joint fundraising committee.
“The haul is the most emphatic signal yet that the momentum behind his comeback candidacy is continuing to build as we near the 100 day countdown to the Iowa Caucus,” a press release stated.
Campaign manager James Uthmeier said the “significant fundraising haul not only provides us with the resources we need in the fight for Iowa and beyond, but it also shuts down the doubters who counted out Ron DeSantis for far too long.”
DeSantis said he and his wife, Casey, are “beyond grateful” for those who “chipped in what they could to strengthen our movement to take back the White House and reverse America’s decline.”
“We’re ready to fight, lead, and win!” DeSantis said.

Florida’s Voice previously reported that DeSantis collected $20 million in the first six weeks of his presidential campaign, while Never Back Down, a DeSantis-supporting super PAC, reported $130 million since their launch in March.
Former President Donald Trump announced his campaign raised more than $45 million in the third quarter.
