RENACCI CAMPAIGN HAULS IN $725,000 IN SECOND QUARTER
Campaign Surpasses Previous Quarterly Record by Nearly $500,000
Canton, OH—Today, the Renacci for Congress campaign announced that it brought in just over $725,000 in the second quarter of 2010. Following several quarters of very strong fund raising, the second quarter numbers far exceeded the campaign’s previous quarterly record by nearly half a million dollars.
“I remain sincerely humbled by the consistently strong and rapidly growing support for our campaign. By generously lending their time and their resources to this effort, voters are sending a powerful message to John Boccieri and Nancy Pelosi that the American people have had enough of their misguided policies and their failed agenda—and are willing to do whatever it takes to restore competence and accountability to our government this November. I have no illusions about the fact that John Boccieri’s special interests friends in Washington will ensure that his campaign is well-funded, but I am confident that with the continued support of voters here in Ohio our campaign will prevail on Election Day and together we will restore the 16th district’s voice in Congress,” Jim Renacci said today.
In total, 95% of the second quarter contributions to the Renacci campaign came from individuals and 80% of the dollars raised came from donors who live or work in and around Northeast Ohio.
“As I have long maintained, elections are won with votes and not dollars, but the outpouring of financial support we have received has left us well positioned to compete with John Boccieri and his D.C.-based financiers—and is indicative of the powerful momentum behind our campaign,” Renacci added.
