Dem challenging Paul Ryan raises $430K in campaign's first 12 days
Randy Bryce, a Democrat challenging House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for his seat, raised more than $430,000 in the first 12 days of his campaign.
That money, according to Bryce's campaign, came from more than 16,000 donations, amounting to an average contribution of a little more than $25.
Bryce, a labor activist and ironworker who stumped for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during his 2016 presidential bid, launched his congressional campaign last month.
"Just a few weeks into this race, we have seen what can happen when you have the power of working people on your side, and I am excited to work with everyone as we continue this fight through next November," Bryce said in a statement.
Bryce's campaign pulled in more than $100,000 in just over 24 hours after declaring his candidacy.
Bryce will face off against two other Democrats, political activist David Yankovich and Janesville School Board member Cathy Myers, in the district's Democratic primary early next year.
