Romney, Republican Party raise $40M in April

Posted:

WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney and the GOP raised a combined $40.1 million in April.

The figures put the likely GOP nominee's fundraising totals near the $43.6 million that President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party raised last month.

Romney's campaign pulled in about $12.5 million in March.

April's reports offer the first fundraising tallies of the general election.

Both campaigns' detailed financial reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by midnight Sunday.
