Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign raised close to $47 million in primary money during its first quarter and has $28.85 million in cash on hand, according to a report filed Wednesday with the Federal Elections Commission.

The Democratic front-runner is focused on raising money for the primary, and brought in more than $46.7 million—including in-kind contributions of nearly $280,000 from Clinton, who financed the testing-the-waters pre-campaign phase with her own money—once all the checks for the second quarter of 2015 were totaled. The campaign is not actively soliciting general-election money but still took in close to $825,000 that can only be spent if she becomes the Democratic nominee.
