Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders has experienced an outpouring of donations in the days after she announced her Arkansas gubernatorial bid, her campaign said.
Sanders, 38, announced her candidacy on Monday, and she had raised more than $1 million by Thursday, according to a post on her campaign website, which added that she received donations from each of Arkansas’s 75 counties.
“I’m grateful for the outpouring of support from Arkansans for my campaign our message is powerfully resonating with people in every corner of our state. As governor, I will represent all Arkansans, defend our freedom and lead with heart,” Sanders said.
