Sen. Balderson Announces $300,000 Raised for Congressional Campaign Through February
Total money raised reflects actual contributions, no loans
|
|
On Monday, Senator Balderson announced announced that his campaign has raised $300,000 in just eight weeks since declaring his candidacy for Ohio's 12th Congressional District.
“This campaign has had non-stop momentum since day one, and I could not be more grateful to the many contributors of this effort," Senator Balderson said. So many people from my Senate District and throughout Central Ohio have asked to be a part of our campaign because they know that my conservative record makes me the best candidate to help fix a broken Washington. I am humbled by the generosity of my family, friends, and colleagues and I look forward to continuing our strength through the May eighth primaries and beyond.”
Senator Balderson’s campaign, which has raised more money to-date than all other GOP candidates combined, opened a new headquarters at the end of last week.
