Marco Rubio Began 2016 With $10.39 Million Cash-On-Hand  

Today, the Marco Rubio for President campaign announced the campaign's strongest fundraising quarter yet, doubling what was raised in the previous quarter.

Thanks to growing support from across the country looking for a new generation of leadership in Washington, Marco Rubio for President is proud to report raising $14.19 million with $10.39 million cash-on-hand entering 2016.

With over 93,000 donations from all 50 states, and over $5 million raised online this quarter, supporters have given the campaign the resources to run over $8.14 million worth of television advertisements to share Marco's message for a New American Century. Marco has also raised $1 million in the early states since he entered the race.

As momentum continues to grow, the Rubio campaign is the only campaign to have announced state chairman in all 50 states and that the campaign has spent more on television ads than any other candidate.

The Rubio campaign's new FEC report also details how the campaign took 431 Uber rides and spent enough fueling up at Chick-fil-A to have eaten 1,348 nuggets.

Quad-City Times Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

Quad-City Times Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

Full editorial here and excerpts below.

"Americans are tired of the hollow rhetoric. They're tired of two parties that, in a lot of ways, mirror each other. Any Democrat looking for a clear choice in the general election should caucus Monday for Sen. Bernie Sanders."

​"​In 2008, voters rejected Clinton for what they thought was a new era of political discourse. Obama has had his moments, for sure. But his supporters didn't get the new-century paradigm shift they desired. The corporatism persisted. Special interests and the wealthy continue to own Washington. Clinton is incapable of changing that. She's just too plugged in.​"

President Bill Clinton to Rally South Carolinians in Columbia on Wednesday, February 3, 2016

President Bill Clinton will travel to the Palmetto State on Wednesday, February 3rd to rally South Carolinians headed into the Democratic primary on Saturday, February 27th. At an event hosted at Allen University in Columbia, President Clinton will outline why Hillary Clinton is the best choice for South Carolinians. At the invitation of Senator John Matthews, the Assistant Democratic Leader, and House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, he will join the Democratic Members of the South Carolina General Assembly to discuss issues facing communities across the state prior to the event at Allen University.

President Clinton knows Hillary Clinton is the tireless fighter Americans need to get things done and protect the progress we’ve made under President Obama. Hillary Clinton has spent her entire life taking on the toughest fights on behalf of families and children -- starting here in South Carolina while working at the Children's Defense Fund.
