Delaware Democratic state Sen. Sarah McBride announced she garnered $414,000 in campaign donations Thursday.
The money was collected in the days since McBride, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman, launched a campaign for Delaware’s sole House seat on June 25 and before the end of the quarter on June 30.

“Thanks to your support, we’re already building a grassroots campaign that’s breaking records,” McBride tweeted. “In just the first five days of this campaign, we raised more than $414,000, including the generous support of almost 550 Delaware donors from every corner of this state.”
McBride has been a state senator since 2020, raising $1,800 during that campaign and $1,375 in 2022, according to Open Secrets. Previous donors included JPMorgan Chase, Deloitte, and the Human Rights Campaign, the country’s largest LGBT civil rights advocacy group, where McBride served as a spokesperson.

So far, McBride faces one other Democratic candidate in the race that is expected to lean Democratic, Alexander Geise. The two will face off for the seat of Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), who has chosen not to run for reelection but is running for Sen. Tom Carper’s (D-DE) seat.
Rochester raised over $2.8 million ahead of her fourth consecutive term to win the seat in 2022.
