The Obama campaign is out with its FEC report for the final quarter of 2011. From a spokesman:
“In the 4th quarter of 2011, $68 million were raised to help reelect President Obama. 583,000 donors gave to the campaign in q4, 200,000 of whom had never given before, even in 2008. The average contribution this quarter was $55, and 98 percent of our contributions were $250 or less.”
The number is a combined total that includes fundraising for the DNC as well. The campaign also included a list of campaign bundlers, now posted online. As the Obama campaign likes to note, none of the Republican candidates make their top fundraisers available.
Notable Obama bundlers this quarter include entertainment moguls Harvey Weinstein, who co-founded Miramax, and Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. Each raised over $500,000 for Obama’s re-election. Actress Eva Longoria is on the list in the $200,000-$500,000 range.
