Texas Gov. Rick Perry raised $17 million during the third fundraising quarter of the year, despite a late entry into the race and a compressed time frame for raising money, campaign spokesman Mark Miner said Wednesday.
The number is significantly higher than the $10 million that the campaign had been floating as its target for the quarter. It is also nearly as high as the $18 million haul his chief rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, brought in during the second quarter. And it is likely higher than the $10 million to $12 million Romney is expected to raise during the third quarter.
