Today was an important day in my campaign for state delegate. We submitted our first campaign finance report.
I was extremely pleased with all the early financial support to my campaign. Eighty-five percent of contributions were $100 or less and we didn’t accept a penny from special interest PACs.
I also know, however, that this race won’t be won with campaign finance reports. It will be won by hitting the streets throughout District 30 and talking to voters one-on-one. That effort will start in just a few days and I’ll share the details with you on this blog.
If you’d like to join the hundreds of people who have invested in this campaign so far, you can do so here.
You can find a press release with more details of the filing below.
