Today, former Texas Rep. and 2024 presidential candidate Will Hurd released the following statement announcing that he and his team have crossed the RNC's 40,000 unique donor threshold:
"Just 55 days after entering the race, my team and I crossed the 40,000 donor qualification required for the first GOP debate. I was the last candidate to enter the Republican primary field and we were able to accomplish this goal with speed, without using tricks or gimmicks while spending far less than many of my opponents to do so. As I have said since day one of my campaign—I am not looking to peak within the first 100 days of entering the race, I am looking to peak before the first election. Meeting this first milestone is a great feat for my team and our supporters, but I am not taking my foot off the gas. I look forward to being on the debate stage in Wisconsin."
