Jay Inslee, little known outside his home state, boasts he raised over $1 million in the days after launching his White House bid.

Within about three days, he reached the magic $1 million figure — and his campaign issued a news release. Her campaign announced in January that it raised $1.5 million in 24 hours, collecting an average donation of $37 from more than 38,000 people.
