South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg announced that his 2020 presidential campaign has raised over $7 million.
This is just a preliminary analysis, but our team’s initial report shows we raised over $7 million dollars in Q1 of this year. We (you) are out-performing expectations at every turn. I'll have a more complete analysis later, but until then: a big thank you to all our supporters. pic.twitter.com/rDmTEiTfCs

Buttigieg is the first candidate to announce his first quarter fundraising total, but the number puts him in the field based on what we know about the other candidates’ fundraising so far.
