Thompson got a big home-state boost with almost half the money came from Tennessee donors - $1.67 million from 789 donors.
Although Thompson is expected to bill himself as a populist outsider when he enters the presidential race in September, the contribution report that his aides released is peppered with donations from the inside-the-Beltway crowd.
That included a $2,300 contribution from Douglas Feith, the former undersecretary of defense and one of the most vocal advocates of the war in Iraq, and a donation from David Bossie, the head of Citizens United, a Washington-based conservative grass-roots group.
