Pro-Clinton Pac Raised $4 million in 2013

Former secretary of state expected to announce her political plans this year

WASHINGTON — A super PAC encouraging Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton to seek the presidency in 2016 raised $2.75 million during the last six months of 2013, the group announced Tuesday night.

That brings to $4 million the amount that the Ready for Hillary super PAC has collected to support the former secretary of State. More than 25,000 people contributed to the group after July 1 — more than three times the number of donors the group had during the first half of the year.

Clinton, who has been busy writing and giving speeches, plans to announce her political intentions this year.
