Tulsi Gabbard Raised Negative $20 for Her House Campaign
The number raises questions about whether Gabbard will return to Congress should her presidential campaign come to an end.

Gabbard raised just $11 in the second quarter of 2019. That number does not factor in a $31 contribution refund, which means her campaign committee ended in the red during that three month period.

The committee spent just $8,828.59 during the quarter—almost all of which was on financial compliance—leaving it with just over $30,000 cash on hand.

The absence of any fundraising or spending on her House race has left political observers with the impression that Gabbard may not return to Congress at all if her White House bid falls short. By contrast, during this quarter in the 2018 election cycle, Gabbard brought in more than $225,000 in net contributions, per federal filings.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) is also running for the Democratic presidential nomination. But during the second quarter of 2009, he still raised $30,255.83 for his House campaign arm and spent $56,764.02 from that same account. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), who is running for president and—like Gabbard—faces a primary challenge for his House seat, raised $39,409.17 in the second quarter for his congressional campaign arm. He spent $162,225 from that account during that same quarter, including nearly $8,000 on Facebook ads.

Moulton employed at least 13 staffers from his House campaign account. Gabbard, by contrast, had no one on her House campaign payroll.

(Note: this article is mostly about Gabbard's bid for the House, however I'm posting in DP because it also mentions her presidential run and compares how Moulton and Ryan are handling their bid for both the House and presidency.)

1. Very interesting. So how did she run 3 expensive Tulsi for prez ads during the debate last night?

And I counted one more after the debates too - she is getting her $ somewhere from somebody

4. Plus she has billboards in several states.

She's not who she appears to be. No plans, no real substance.

5. She has raised millions for her presidential campaign. The article is about...

...what has been raised for a House campaign, which is separate.

The same article quote in the OP also points out that "her presidential campaign raised $1.5 million in the second quarter."
