Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican, has set a new state fundraising record with $4.8 million in first-quarter contributions, her campaign said Thursday.
Sanders outraised her Republican rival, Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, by nearly 25-to-1, while raising more money in a single quarter than any campaign in the history of Arkansas politics. Most of the contributions were from out of state, with around $1.5 million coming from residents of Arkansas, according to a release.
