Rick Tyler, Cruz's communications director, announced the Texas senator's campaign had $19 million in the bank at the beginning of 2016. That's a lot.

Cruz's campaign manager told reporters at a Bloomberg Politics breakfast Friday morning he thinks Iowa's Monday caucus is going to be a "record turnout."

Cruz may need some of that money if he hopes to boost his numbers. Some early evaluations of the most recent GOP debate suggest Cruz didn't do so hot.

Cruz is just the second candidate to give us an idea of how much money he had at the end of last year. Carson's campaign previously announced it had raised $23 million alone in the fourth quarter of 2015.
