Feb. 20 (Bloomberg) — President George W. Bush raised $12.8 million in January for his election campaign, more than Democratic rivals John Kerry and John Edwards combined.

Bush has amassed a record $143.5 million through the end of January since his fundraising began last May, his campaign said in an e-mailed statement. In January, 71,000 people gave an average $175 contribution, and the campaign had $104.5 million cash on hand at the end of the month, the campaign said.

Kerry raised about $7 million from Jan. 1 to mid-February and North Carolina Senator Edwards raised $3.3 million from the Jan. 19 Iowa caucuses to Feb. 13, his campaign said last week. ”
