Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced Thursday that she raised $4.2 million during the second quarter of her gubernatorial run in Arkansas.

The new numbers put her total campaign fundraising at over $9 million dollars since she announced her bid in January. Sanders’ campaign and local news outlets have reported that the fundraising numbers are historic, saying it is the most ever raised by a campaign for governor in Arkansas.

“I am thankful for the outpouring of support from all across our state,” Sanders said in a statement. “It’s clear Arkansans want a leader who will defend our freedom and stand up to the radical left, grow our economy and create jobs, and increase access to quality education and opportunity for a brighter, more prosperous future.”
