Fundraising notes
Steve Dickerson's haul:
Dr. Steve Dickerson, the Republican candidate for the State Senate in District 20, is set to release another solid filing for the second quarter disclosure.
“After the first quarter disclosure we had a significant advantage with regard to money and have worked tirelessly to expand upon that lead,” said Dickerson. “The voters have taken notice to our message and are showing support for our campaign, and our fundraising is a prime example of that.”
Dr. Dickerson, the first candidate to enter the race for the Republican primary, has raised over $300,000 to date. With all bills paid, Dr. Dickerson still has $158,310.13 on hand to carry through till the August 2nd Primary. The campaign has several fundraisers set for the month of July to build upon their financial lead.
“I believe releasing such strong numbers in the first quarter gave our campaign great momentum that we have continually built upon throughout the summer.” Dickerson continued, “As a physician and small business owner I understand the importance of a strong financial backing; while these numbers show the support we have received thus far, we will continue to fundraise to ensure that we finish on top in August.”
And Mark Green, taking on Tim Barnes:
Dr. Mark Green, the Republican candidate for State Senate in District 22, today announced his fundraising totals for the second quarter. Green raised $134,575 for the second quarter, bringing his total raised so far in the campaign to $259,521.
“I think the reports clearly show my campaign has not only the momentum, but the grassroots support from across Montgomery, Stewart and Houston Counties to make us successful in November,” Green said.
Comparing Green’s numbers to his opponent, Green led democrat State Senator Tim Barnes in second quarter fundraising by $71,221, after Barnes reported raising a paltry $63,354 this quarter. Green also leads Barnes in cash-on-hand, a key metric gauging the campaign’s financial strength going forward, by $224,922.53 to $80,340.88, an almost 3 to 1 margin.
This makes the second quarter in a row Green has increased his fundraising lead. Green’s $259,921 raised-to-date trumps Barnes’ $106,329 by $153,192, giving Green a commanding lead coming out of the pivotal second quarter.
