RENACCI CAMPAIGN REPORTS MORE STRONG FUNDRAISING NUMBERS
Republican candidate grows war chest to unseat Boccieri
Wadsworth— Jim Renacci, Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio’s 16th district, announced today that his campaign brought in over $210,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009, and reported $355,968 cash on hand heading into 2010. Renacci’s fourth quarter report, filed with the FEC today, follows a very strong third quarter in which he reported raising $203,838.
“I am sincerely humbled and thankful for the outpouring of support my campaign has received across this district. While campaigns are won with votes and not dollars, the continued financial support from voters across this district is arming my campaign with the necessary resources to take on John Boccieri in the fall and restore common sense conservatism to Washington. I have no doubt that with the support of Nancy Pelosi and a host of special interest allies, John Boccieri’s campaign will be well financed—but as the groundswell of momentum and support for my campaign continues to grow here in Ohio, I’m confident that I will be well positioned to unseat John Boccieri and return this seat to the people of the 16th district,” Renacci said.
Based in part on his proven fundraising success and the strength of his campaign organization, the National Republican Congressional Committee advanced Jim Renacci to “Contender” status in its “Young Guns” program earlier this year, naming him as one of the top 14 challenger candidates in the nation. The fundraising report released today further demonstrates that Jim Renacci is clearly the only candidate in this race who has been able to attract both the support and resources necessary to defeat John Boccieri in November.
