(National Journal) Three months ago, when the year’s first big deadline for presidential campaign fundraising rolled around, there was only one serious candidate in the race: Ted Cruz.
Now, with second-quarter reports due to the Federal Election Commission at midnight on Wednesday, there were 20. (There’s actually more than 400 people running for president, but we’re only counting the ones you’ve heard of.)
And Hillary Clinton is winning. By a lot.
According to a review by the Associated Press, donors had already poured a whopping $377 million into presidential campaigns by the end of last month. The new FEC filings reveal to the public where some of that money has gone. The documents show candidates’ financial activity between April 1 and June 30—how much money they’ve raised, what they’ve spent it on, and how much they’ve got left.
As of 11 p.m. Wednesday, all of the big-name candidates on both sides had filed their disclosures. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were not required to file this quarter; we’ll next get a glimpse of the money supporting their campaigns on July 31, when super PAC reports are due.
We ranked the candidates based on total contributions from this quarter. Here’s what they filed.
The Clinton campaign raised the most—and spent the most—by far. Her campaign brought in a whopping $46.7 million, including $824,000 in general election contributions. She spent $18.7 million in her first quarter as a presidential candidate, an enormous sum that is more money than any of her rivals, Democratic or Republican, have even raised.
The spending amounts to roughly $230,000 for every day since Clinton declared her candidacy on April 12. Despite the spending, Clinton still ended the quarter with roughly $28 million in primary cash.

The Sanders campaign took in more than $15.2 million in donations this quarter. Of course, Sanders has been in the race longer than the candidate next in line, Jeb Bush.
The Sanders campaign spent around $3 million during that period, leaving him with roughly $12.1 million total cash on hand. According to Sanders’ filing, the Vermont senator has not given any of his own money to his campaign.

The Bush campaign raised approximately $11.4 million in the last quarter. Bush spent about $3.1 million of that, and has $8.35 million on hand at the close of the reporting period. Bush contributed $388,720 of his own wealth to the campaign.

The Cruz campaign raised $10 million this quarter, bringing his fundraising total to $14.3 million since he launched his candidacy in April. Cruz has spent $5.4 million, leaving him with a total $8.5 million cash on hand. Despite the fact that Cruz is currently polling in eighth among his Republican cohort, he brought in the second-largest fundraising haul among Republicans for this reporting period, behind Bush’s $11.4 million.

The Rubio campaign brought in about $8.9 million and spent $3.1 million this quarter. Rubio ends the reporting period with about $9.9 million, which includes funds he raised before the latest quarter began.
The Carson campaign raised $8.5 million last quarter, a big haul for a former surgeon who has never held federal office before. Much of his money—roughly $5.7 million of it—came from small donors. Carson’s campaign spent $5.4 million and has $4.7 million still on hand. Carson loaned his campaign $25,000 after he first announced an exploratory committee earlier this year.
The Paul campaign reported raising about $6.9 million this quarter. Almost $1.6 million of that total was transferred from Paul’s Senate committee and his victory committee. The campaign spent $2.8 million of that, and closed out the period with $4.2 million on hand.
The Graham campaign reported raising about $3.7 million this quarter. However, $1.5 million of that came from leftover funds from his Senate reelection account. Graham spent about $1.1 million, and closed out the reporting period with $2.6 million on hand.
O’Malley wasn’t able to keep pace with Clinton or Sanders last quarter. He raised $2 million since he launched his campaign on May 30, and spent nearly $700,000 in June. As of June 30, he has $1.3 million in the bank.
The former Maryland governor has been slow to bring in grassroots support. Just over 1,300 itemized donors gave $200 or more each, contributing 96 percent of his campaign’s haul this quarter. Small-dollar donors only pitched in about $90,000. O’Malley’s campaign also ended the quarter with over $140,000 of debt, its biggest unpaid expense being website design and hosting costs of nearly $25,000.
One interesting nugget: actor Danny DeVito maxed out his primary-cycle contribution for O’Malley with a $2,700 donation.
Once the king of the Iowa caucus, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is gearing up for a comeback. Huckabee raised about $2 million this quarter. The haul is more than his initial fundraising effort when he sought the nomination in 2008. Back then, he raised roughly $540,000 in the same time period.
Huckabee spent $1.1 million this quarter, leaving his campaign chest with $885,471.
The controversial real estate developer and reality TV star reported raising $1.9 million—but only $92,000 of which came from contributions from other people. The remaining $1.8 million is money he has lent his campaign. Trump spent $1.4 million on his campaign through the end of June, with $487,736 cash on hand remaining—a number that could be completely meaningless, given Trump’s willingness to spend freely of his own millions.

In the roughly two months since Fiorina announced her candidacy, her campaign took in $1.7 million in contributions and spent $714,000. The Fiorina camp reported it had $990,000 on hand at the end of the reporting period.
Both Fiorina and her husband, Frank, maxed out their primary-cycle contributions with $2,700 donations a piece. Roughly 1,520 other individual donors contributed to Fiorina, as did a single PAC run by a water utility company in the Philadelphia suburbs.
The Perry campaign took in $1.1 million in donations this quarter, the first since the former Texas governor announced his bid for the presidency. It spent roughly $600,000 during that time, leaving Perry with $884,000 total cash on hand. According to his filing, Perry didn’t contribute or loan any of his own money to his campaign war chest.

The Santorum campaign has raised $607,617 and spent $375,598, leaving it with $232,018 on hand at the end of the reporting period.
Jindal raised $579,000 between mid-May (when he announced his presidential exploratory committee) and the end of June.
Roughly two-thirds of the disclosed contributions have come from his home-state, his newquarterly filing shows. But the Jindal campaign has gotten a far bigger boost from outside groups. On Wednesday morning, the campaign circulated a Washington Examiner story that notes Jindal is backed by another $8.6 million raised by outside groups, including $3.7 million raised by the Believe Again super PAC since January.
As of the end of June, the campaign has spent a little over $65,000 and had roughly $514,000 on hand.
Chafee did not have a very lucrative second quarter. He brought in $392,743—but less than $30,000 of that actually came from contributors. Almost the entirety of Chafee’s fundraising, $363,694, came from his own pockets in the form of a candidate loan.
Chafee’s campaign spent $63,757 during the quarter, leaving it with $328,986 on hand.
The Pataki campaign took in $256,000 and spent $48,000 since the former New York governor’s campaign launch in late May. He was left with roughly $208,000 cash on hand at the close of the reporting period.
The campaign had about 150 individual donors. Its two priciest expenditures, between $7,000 and $7,500, were for office space in New York City and website design.
