A group urging Hillary Rodham Clinton to run for president says it raised USD 1.7 million in the first three months of the year, almost all of it from small-dollar donors.
Ready for Hillary today said more than 22,000 new donors gave money to the self-designated Clinton support network between January 1 and March 31. The average contribution was USD 53, and 98 per cent of it was USD 100 or less.
Ready for Hillary has been collecting names of those who would support Clinton if she runs in 2016. The group has been focused on building buzz by lining up donors, as others have done.
Since its launch, Ready for Hillary has raised USD 5.75 million.
The group is independent of a campaign Clinton would launch if she decides to run.
