Burgum Campaign Press Release - Doug Burgum Surpasses RNC Donor Threshold for Debate

Follows New Hampshire Poll Showing Burgum Tied for 4th

Doug Burgum announced today that he has exceeded the donor requirements set forth by the Republican National Committee to qualify for the first debate.

Burgum has received over 40,000 individual donations including more than 200 from 20 different states. Burgum achieved these metrics six weeks after announcing his campaign despite having never held or run for national office before.

"Doug Burgum is well on his way to appearing on the debate stage after meeting the donor threshold and surging in New Hampshire," said campaign spokesman Lance Trover. "Voters know America needs a governor and business leader like Doug to fix the economy, unleash American energy and win the Cold War with China."

Burgum met the donor requirements the day after the University of New Hampshire released a poll showing the governor and business leader moving up to 4th place in the state and earning the support of 6 percent of voters. The poll found Burgum placing ahead of Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, all of whom either entered the race well before Burgum or with much higher name recognition.
