There isn’t much of a legacy nor political action after telemarketers spend a million dollars to raise a million dollars — but that has never before stopped Newt Gingrich.

And it hasn’t stopped the vendors who collect their fees and all the fundraising intelligence and donor data they can.

The 
American Legacy PAC
 reported today it raised $1,215,875 and spent $1,201,980 from Jan. 1 to June 5, leaving $74,125 cash on hand. The PAC is run by Mike Murray, and its co-founders and co-chairs are 
Newt and Callista Gingrich.

The PAC gave $5,000 on May 28 to Gabriel Gomez for Senate and $5,000 on May 28 to Cuccinelli for Governor.
