McBride Raises $315,000 in 12 hours

That’s a huge haul. It’s one of the largest first day hauls (and remember, Sarah announced at 8 am, so we are not even at a full day yet) that many national politicos have ever seen. For reference, when the Vermont At Large seat opened up in 2022, the eventual primary winner there impressed everyone when she raised $150,000 in 24 hours. Sarah doubled that in 12 hours. In 2016, in Delaware, the Democratic candidates (Townsend, LBR, Barney) raised between $120,000 to $215,000 their entire first quarter.

So this is impressive nationally, and astonishing and record-breaking locally.
