House Speaker Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) raised a record $7.1 million in the first quarter, sources told Breitbart News on Thursday.
The money was raised for House candidates, national committees and Stefanik’s battleground efforts in New York.
The average donation to Team Elise in the first quarter was $21. A total of 70,000 people donated.
Team Elise has raised $20 million so far during the 2024 cycle.
“We are humbled and extremely grateful for the record-breaking support from long-time and first-time Team Elise donors from upstate New York and across the country,” Stefanik told reporters. Told. “Under President Trump’s leadership, the America First movement is in a stronger position than ever. With President Trump elected, the House Republican majority protected and expanded, and America saved, we look forward to 2024. We got off to a great start.”
Stefanik replaced former Congresswoman Liz Cheney as chair of the conference in mid-2021. Since replacing Cheney, Republicans have retaken the House of Representatives in 2022, including flipping four New York seats, giving them a narrow but important majority.
Stefanik launched the NY Battlefield Fund in 2023 and announced plans to defeat Democrats in the 2024 election cycle. The fund aims to defend the majority of New York against Democratic attacks.
Stefanik is considered one of Trump’s running mate candidates.
