Earlier today the Giuliani campaign held a conference call to provide some details on their Q1 FEC filing. The full report can be found here, but the basic details are as follows:

- Primary Election Cash on Hand: $10,814,834 (91%)
- General Election Cash on Hand $1,134,900 (9%)
- Total Cash on Hand: $11,949,734
- Total Receipts: $16,623,410 (includes $1,850,000 transferred from Friends of Giuliani)

Campaign manager Mike DuHaime said there were 28,000 total contributors in Q1 and the campaign raised nearly $1 million of its total over the Internet.

National campaign chair Pat Oxford said he was pleased with the "efficiency" of the campaign, pointing out that they had spent only about a third of the total raised in Q1 (about $5.7 million) despite the significant start up costs associated with building out the campaign infrastructure, especially with HQ in New York.

DuHaime pointed out that the campaign got off to a slow start (only $200K raised in January and about $3 million in February) before hitting its stride in March raising the vast bulk of funds ($11.5 million).

In response to a question about the number of fund raising events to be put the schedule in the future, DuHaime said they expected to keep a "March-like pace" throughout the rest of the year and right into the primaries. "We feel we're striking the right balance right now in terms of raising money and campaigning," DuHaime said. "Obviously we need to do both."

The campaign's national finance chair, Roy Bailey, said he's been racing to build out a fundraising infrastructure to keep up with the enthusiasm for Giuliani around the country and said he was pleased that they had 40 state finance chairs in place and a strong executive finance committee.

Lastly, Thomas Beaumont of the Des Moines Register asked whether Giuliani would invest significant resources in the Ames straw poll in August, to which DuHaime responded, "we are 100% committed to playing in the caucuses. We are 100% focused on winning in Iowa."
