That beats the Republican National Committee’s previous record of 853,595 first time donors during President Reagan’s two terms in the 1980s. The new contributors in Bush’s tenure yielded $55 million for the RNC, spokes woman Christine Iverson said Wednesday. “These are not wealthy people,’’ said Iverson, who said the typical donation was under $30. The RNC doesn’t know whether the donors gave to Republican candidates in the past, but it was their first time contributing to the national committee, she said. In total numbers, California provided the most new donors to the party — 161,463 — followed by Florida, governed by Bush’s brother, Jeb, with 76,028; and Texas, the president’s home state, with 61,487. American Samoa provided the fewest: just one. The party reached out to the contributors through a combination of mail, phones and the Internet, Iverson said. Republicans have broken another party fundraising record with mot than 1 million first-time donors since President Bush took office/n January 2001, breaking the record of the Reagan era. 4.999 5.000 to 11.000 to 20,000 to Above and below 10.999 19.999 59.999 60.000 ATLANTA — t federal review of t control laws — mandatory waiting | on certain w d no proof tf firearm violence.

District of Columbia had the fewest contributors with 1,002. SOURCE: Republican National Committee Such new contributors, many of them donating modest amounts, are a key part of the parties efforts to adapt to the campaign finance law ban ning corporate, union and unlimited donations that took effect last November. Democrats, too, have been aggressively try ing to attract new contributors. The Democratic National Committee has gained roughly 600,000 new donors since Bush took office in January 2001.
