Ben Carson, the retired pediatric neurosurgeon who has ridden a wave of anti-Washington sentiment to the top tier of the Republican primary field, raised more than $20 million in the third quarter, according to his campaign.
Along with real estate developer Donald Trump and former technology executive Carly Fiorina, Carson has spent much of the last month near the top of national and early primary state polls, and has collected more than $31 million since he set up a presidential exploratory committee in March.
