More on Small Donors: “Hawley rakes in grassroots cash after Capitol attack”

From Axios:

January was Sen. Josh Hawley’s best fundraising month—by far—since his 2018 election, with a flood of small-dollar donations more than eclipsing the corporate cash he lost after leading an effort to block certification of President Biden’s Electoral College win.

Why it matters: Corporate PACs cut ties with the Missouri Republican after the Capitol insurrection that followed the Hawley-led gambit. But his grassroots fundraising bonanza in the weeks after shows the GOP base still firmly in Hawley’s camp.

What’s new: According to a memo released by Hawley’s campaign on Monday, his political operation brought in $969,000 in January.

That’s more than Hawley’s campaign has raised in any single month since October 2018, just before he was elected to the Senate.

The average donation in January was $52, with contributions from roughly 12,000 new donors, according to the campaign. It now has roughly $2.1 million cash on hand.
