    Today, Caroline Gleich, Democratic candidate for US Senate in Utah, announced a strong Quarter 1 fundraising report, with nearly $400,000 raised from nearly 8,000 individual donors. This is the highest single-quarter fundraising total for a Democratic US Senate candidate in Utah in over 40 years, and the second-highest ever. It reflects a historically strong campaign heading into the state Democratic convention later this month and preparing to face off with the eventual Republican nominee in the November general election. Gleich’s numbers place her as the second-highest-raising candidate in the first quarter, outpacing nearly every Republican running.

    “I’m extremely excited and humbled by the groundswell of support we’ve seen since launching our campaign in January. As a ski mountaineer, I’ve learned that we never climb a mountain alone, which is why I’m proud to have a strong grassroots team supporting our climb to the US Senate,” said Gleich. She continued, “I don’t look like a typical Senator. I’m not an entrenched politician, I don’t come from a political dynasty, and I don’t have millions of dollars to loan my campaign. However, I’m thrilled to have the support of thousands of Utahns who are ready for a different kind of leadership in Washington, and I’m ready to advocate for our families, our freedom, and our future.”

    Caroline’s unique campaign launch video recently caught the attention of the New York Times, named as one of the top ten races to watch this year.

    Here are some key takeaways from the report:

    • $389,534.76 raised
    • 7,788 contributors
    • 99% raised from individual donors
    • $42.66 average contribution
    • Highest single-quarter total for a Democratic US Senate candidate in Utah since 1982, second-highest on record
