Green Bay, WI – Dr. Kristin Lyerly, the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, who would be the first pro-choice OB/GYN in Congress, announced today that she has raised over $1.1 million in the 3rd quarter, with contributions from over 26,000 individual donors.

This massive haul is the strongest quarter raised by any candidate, from either party, who has run in the 8th District, ever.

Dr. Lyerly’s 3rd Quarter By The Numbers:

✅ > $1.1 Million Raised

✅ > 26,000 Individual Donors This Quarter

✅ < $30 Average Donation

✅ 83% First Time Lyerly Campaign Donors

“These historic numbers reflect both the enthusiasm we’re seeing on the ground and the unique vulnerabilities that Tony Wied has. Gas prices and reproductive rights are top of mind for Wisconsin Eight voters, and Tony Wied’s record on both is abysmal, making this seat a prime target. Coupled with the relative affordability of the Green Bay media market, this haul puts the Lyerly campaign in a strong position heading into November," spokesperson Kurt Frewing said.

The fundraising announcement comes on the heels of Lyerly earning key endorsements from EMILYs List, Planned Parenthood, and the Wisconsin AFL-CIO.
