Paul’s fundraising operation could transfer to a presidential campaign if he chooses. Rand Paul's million-dollar haul

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul raised more than $1 million for his political committees in the third quarter of 2013, a top Paul adviser told POLITICO.

Paul’s campaign committee, Rand Paul for Senate, finished the month of September with $1.25 million on hand, the adviser said.


Paul’s seven-figure haul came in through three entities: Rand Paul for Senate, the action committee RANDPAC and Rand Paul Victory, a joint fundraising committee that feeds into the other two groups.

The exact total for Paul’s fundraising has yet to be disclosed, but a million-dollar-plus sum is a sizable haul for a senator not currently running for reelection. Should Paul choose to run for reelection, his seat isn’t up until the 2016 cycle.

Paul appears to have other political goals in mind for that year, and his federal fundraising operation would transfer over directly to a presidential campaign if he chooses to go in that direction.
