Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s campaign funding was in flux. Then came her motion to vacate.
Since introducing a motion to remove Speaker Mike Johnson on March 22, Greene has received a cascade of small-dollar donations, according to a D.C. consultant familiar with the campaign. The donations, totaling well into six figures, have substantially boosted the campaign’s coffers.
And she welcomed it. Despite her reputation as an exemplary fundraiser, her campaign funds have been in an unusually poor state. Her campaign burned through $5 million last year and brought in $3.75 million in contributions, leaving her with $709,000 on hand at year’s end. It’s a healthy amount but less so for her. Greene’s campaign ended ’22, an election year, with $1.96 million in cash and $3.4 million at the end of ’21.
