WASHINGTON (AP) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign says it has raised $15 million since launching his bid in late April.
The campaign has received money from about 250,000 donors.
Sanders’ campaign is releasing preliminary totals for the fundraising period that ended this week. He trails Hillary Rodham Clinton in fundraising by wide margins — Clinton’s campaign says it has raised $45 million since mid-April.
But Sanders has been drawing large crowds at his rallies and appeals to many Democrats. His campaign says the average donation is $33.51.
Sanders is aggressively courting the most liberal grassroots voters by running largely on a platform of reducing income inequality. His stock has risen in early states like New Hampshire and Iowa, but he still trails Clinton in early polling.

along with Ted Kennedy's famous 'When does the greed stop?' about the GOP not raising the minimum wage, and TR's speech about the need for a 'living wage' c. 1907. Both of these topics Bernie included in his many calls for change in the powerful, moving Barn Berner speech in Madison last night.
So great how Bernie's donors and funds are increasing! He's a Long Distance Runner from his youth and is just getting started in the 2016 campaign. Bernie Rocks!
Feel the Bern!
Go Bernie
still so up from the Barn BERNER in Madison last night I'm in Heaven!
People Power! Go Bernie, the LONG DISTANCE RUNNER in his youth as he told George S. when asked about age. Bernie's powerful voice, message and stamina are remarkable!
