Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) was one of the top fundraisers in the House during the first three months of the year, USA Today reports.

According to filings, Bachmann raised nearly $675,000. Only three congressman ranked ahead of her -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) with $1.4 million; House Majority Leader Eric Cantor with nearly $961,00 and Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who raised nearly $844,000.

Bachmann has proved to be an impressive fundraiser in the past, bringing in $14.4 million for her 2012 race.

Bachmann's campaign is currently the subject of an ethics investigation over alleged campaign finance improprieties, though Bachmann herself has not been accused of inappropriate action.
