Marjorie Taylor Greene Reports Her First Fundraising Loss [View all]

Source: Daily Beast

Roger Sollenberger - Yesterday 10:13 PM

The campaign committee for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reported its first-ever net loss on Friday, posting a $314,000 deficit over the first three months of 2022 while additionally revising previous contribution totals down by more than $100,000.

About half of that loss is represented in fees to Donald Trump’s top Jan. 6 attorney and a security detail that protected Kyle Rittenhouse during his trial last year.

While Greene has always traded steep fees for slightly higher returns, she’s always managed to come out on top—until now.

Last quarter she sprung a hole in the bucket, as her campaign committee, Greene for Congress, spent about $1.38 million while taking in only $1.06 million in donations. Fundraising costs alone wiped out three-quarters of those receipts.
