Hillary Clinton Will Likely Hit $100 Million Fundraising Goal
Political analysts say that Hillary Clinton is on track to exceed her $100 million fundraising goal for the year.
According to data from a CNN analysis, the Democratic front-runner will likely surpass her campaign's goal to raise $100 million in first three quarters.
Clinton raised $23 million in the second quarter by headlining events, and then another $22 million in the third quarter. At some of those events attendees were charged $2,700, which is the maximum amount an individual can contribute to a campaign.
The former first lady then closed off the year by personally headlining events at a significantly lower cost, from $200 to $500, which helped her raise up to $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
In total, Clinton has raised $75 million through Sept. 30, putting her on pace to top the $100 million mark after three quarters, according to CNN's analysis.
Although Clinton's camp has not confirmed the numbers, her campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin said Wednesday that they are "confident" they will hit their $100 million goal.
Fourth-quarter fundraising totals, covering October to December, are due with the Federal Election Commission in January.
Clinton conducted 58 events in the second, third and fourth fundraising quarters apiece, CNN reported.
The former secretary of state will continue to host fundraising events in the beginning of 2016, including six back-to-back fundraisers in California on Jan. 7 and Jan. 8.
At one event on Jan. 7, Clinton will raise money with Warren Buffett in Los Angeles. Tickets for the event costs $2,700 per person. It will be hosted by CBS producer and author Karen Mack Goldsmith and Russell Goldsmith, the chairman of City National Bank.
This will mark the second time that Buffett will join Clinton in a fundraiser. She headlined her first fundraiser with the billionaire investor in December in Omaha, Nebraska, reports CNN.
