Bush Contributions at Maximum
- Share via
WASHINGTON — George Bush today reached the maximum $27 million in contributions permitted by federal law and his presidential campaign treasurer said most of it has already been spent.
The vice president’s campaign is expected to hit the fund-raising ceiling by day’s end, said Fred Bush, the treasurer. “I’m thrilled,” he said. “As far as this process is concerned, we’re finished.” The cap applies to both raising funds and spending them. Fred Bush said the campaign has about $4 million left in the bank, and the task will now be to spend it carefully with more than four months still to go before the Republican National Convention in August.
