DEMOCRAT WILL ROLLINS RAISES OVER $3.6 MILLION IN THE THIRD QUARTER
Rollins is now the Highest Raising Challenger in California History
CORONA, C.A. — Yesterday, as reported in the Coachella Valley Independent, Democrat Will Rollins announced that his campaign raised over $3.6 million in the third quarter this year, putting his total receipts for the 2024 cycle above $10.6 million.
The massive haul will make Rollins, the nominee in California’s 41st District, the highest-raising challenger without self-funding in the state’s history. The prior record-holder had been Joe Collins, a Republican who raised $10.6 million in the 2020 cycle. Since the end of the third quarter, Rollins has already well exceeded the $10.6 million benchmark.
“Supporters across California’s 41st and folks across the country know that our district is one of the best chances to take back the House and fight for our freedoms,” said Rollins. “I’m grateful for the support and I look forward to finishing the job in less than 30 days. 32 years is long enough for Ken Calvert — we need change in Riverside County and we need new leadership that has the courage to put people before politics and profit.”
Grassroots donors have fueled Rollins’ rematch against Ken Calvert, with well over 70,000 unique donors now making at least one contribution to the campaign. Calvert has not yet filed his report, with the filing period coming next week on October 15th.
