After raising $1.4 million in Florida at his first major fundraiser as speaker of the House last month, Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson hit the fundraising trail again this weekend — this time in New York. As NR reported last week, Johnson’s fundraising efforts will be vital to protecting the House GOP’s razor-thin majority. And ahead of a presidential year, every cent counts.

The New York Post reported Sunday evening that Johnson and House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik of New York raked in $1 million at a pair of Manhattan fundraisers over the weekend, featuring high-profile figures like Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman and former New York representative Lee Zeldin. (Recall that Zeldin’s strong gubernatorial run against Democratic governor Kathy Hochul last year is widely credited for helping many House Republicans flip Biden districts during an otherwise lackluster midterm cycle for the GOP.) NR confirms that Johnson and Zeldin raised roughly half a million dollars at Sunday evening’s Grow the Majority New York fundraiser and another half a million at a fundraiser for the nonprofit pro-Israel group Zionist Organization of America, according to a Zeldin spokesman.

How much did Johnson raise at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s winter fundraiser? A spokeswoman from Johnson’s political team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
