Governor Bush Has Spent Record $60 Million on Campaign

HeadlineFeb 25, 2000

Texas Governor George Bush has spent a record $60 million, as he and his rival, John McCain, prepare for the expensive and crucial primaries in New York, California and other states on March 7th — the $60 million on a campaign that has so far netted fifty-seven delegates, according to a tally by the New York Times. More than 1,000 are needed for the nomination. McCain has ninety-five delegates. No presidential candidate has raised or spent as much money as Bush. Before the first vote was cast in New Hampshire, Bush had raised nearly $70 million and spent $50 million, according to the Federal Election Commission.
