'''HillRaisers''' were people who gathered at least $100,000 for New York Senator [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]'s [[Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, 2008|2008 presidential campaign]]. This was done through the practice of "[[Campaign finance in the United States#Bundling|bundling]]" contributions.<ref name="nyt083107b">{{cite news |

The "HillRaiser" name is a play on the expression ''hellraiser'',<ref>But probably not on the 1987 film ''[[Hellraiser]]''.</ref> and the idea has its roots in the successful [[Bush Pioneers]] appellation formed by [[Karl Rove]] for [[George W. Bush]]'s [[George W. Bush presidential campaign, 2000|2000]] and [[George W. Bush presidential campaign, 2004|2004 presidential campaign]]s.<ref name="bundlers">{{cite news |
