"The paperwork isn’t done yet, but it looks like we will exceed $700,000 raised in the third quarter which ended last night. For reference, my best quarter until now was $648,000 raised in Q2 of 2020 when I was the only member of the House to stand against the $2.2 trillion CARES Act.

"Americans, and especially Republicans in Kentucky’s Fourth District, have shown they prefer a Representative who sticks to his principles instead of being a rubber stamp for the party or the President," Massie concluded.

In a Wednesday post on his campaign X account, Massie noted, "In the last two days of the third quarter, September 29th and 30th, 592 of you gave $84,839 online! Additionally, at least $35,000 worth of checks are in the mail. This is a record breaking quarter, totaling more than $700,000 raised in just three months, thanks to you!"
