GOP reaches milestone in donors
WASHINGTON — The donations aren't all
that big — most under $30 — but the number of
people contributing to the Republican Party is a
milestone: more than 1 million new donors since
President Bush took office.
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.

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.
