Carly Fiorina's campaign has raised $6.8 million in the past three months, according to the Republican presidential candidate's deputy campaign manager. It's a significant jump for the former Hewlett-Packard executive, particularly after a slower start in the last quarter, in which her campaign raised $1.4 million total.

According to a tweet from Sarah Isgur Flores, Fiorina's official campaign spent only $2.2 million between July 1 and Sept. 30, a function of the super PAC supporting her setting up events and signing up supporters, tasks that traditionally have been the domain of the campaigns themselves. Fiorina has $5.5 million in cash on hand. The total fundraising numbers for all candidates will be available when the Federal Elections Commission releases its data on Thursday.

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina says she's coming to eastern Idaho for a campaign event.

Fiorina will hold a brief town hall with Melaleuca employees in Idaho Falls on Wednesday.

The health products company is owned by CEO Frank VanderSloot, who is a GOP mega-donor. VanderSloot has previously listed Fiorina as one the presidential candidates he is favoring.

GOP candidates have been eager to secure VanderSloot's backing because of his successful fundraising reputation.

Hopefully she'll steer clear of the Boise area:
