Speaker Johnson Bags North of $20 Million in Full First Fundraising Quarter

House Speaker Mike Johnson had an impressive fundraising haul in his first full quarter as Speaker, raking in $20 million, according to his office."Speaker Mike Johnson announced he raised more than $20 million in the first quarter of 2024. This is Johnson's first full quarter as Speaker as he leads the Republican Conference to grow the majority this year.

Johnson, who succeeded former Speaker Kevin McCarthy after his ouster in October, has hit more than 20 different states in his capacity as the top House Republican, where he has fundraised and stumped for GOP candidates. After McCarthy’s ouster, questions swirled around Johnson’s fundraising prowess and his ability to fill his predecessor’s shoes, as McCarthy was a highly effective fundraiser. But Johnson’s fundraising abilities from this quarter are on par with McCarthy’s from last Spring and Summer in the second quarter of 2023.

Johnson’s announcement follows the GOP Congressional Leadership Fund’s reveal that it hauled $25 million in quarter one, which the Speaker’s team notes smashed “a previous presidential cycle record of $5.4 million.”
