Jon Huntsman’s campaign may have to shutter a few more offices. Speaking to CNN on Friday, a campaign official said that Huntsman has spent over $4.18 million of the $4.51 million the campaign had to begin with.
That’s before you consider that $2.25 million of that money came from the candidate’s personal fortune.
The Huntsman campaign laid off staff and closed offices in Florida last month as part of an effort to concentrate its effort in New Hampshire.
A source close to the campaign wrote “after a fast start fundraising, the projections were far too high. Fundraising dried up in the summer and that accounts for the campaign reining in spending.”
Huntsman has yet to officially report his third quarter fundraising to the FEC, but a source close to Huntsman’s SuperPAC told CNN that their fundraising total is “good,” citing numerous campaign donors that have moved over to them.
