WASHINGTON — Former Congressman Devin Nunes left the United States House of Representatives to lead former President Donald Trump’s social media venture with plenty of political capital in his pocket.
The California Republican departed with more than $11.3 million stored in his campaign account, according to his most recent Federal Election Commission filing for the period ending on Dec. 31, 2021. He had an additional $426,000 in his leadership political action committee, the New PAC fund.
Nunes set some records in the process. He had more cash on hand than any congressional candidate who announced they would retire during or at the end of this term, according to data compared by Open Secrets, which tracks campaign finance.
