With help from over 1,700 Iowans, Braley sets new record for non-election year fundraising in Iowa's First District
Waterloo, IA - The Bruce Braley for Congress campaign announced today that it will report having raised over $1.1 million during 2011 when it files its year-end Federal Election Commission report, due January 31st. The report will also show Braley raising over $320,000 during the 4th quarter of 2011, and will report the campaign having over $627,000 cash on hand. More than 1,700 Iowans contributed to Braley's campaign in 2011.
$1.1 million is the most ever raised by a 1st District Congressional candidate during a non-election year.
"Thanks to the outpouring of support from Iowans during 2011, Braley for Congress has set yet another non-election year fundraising record," Braley for Congress campaign manager Molly Scherrman said. "This record year shows that Iowans want someone who's on our side in Congress working to create jobs, strengthen the middle class, and stand up for veterans. Tea Party Republicans funded by Washington special interests may target Bruce because he puts Iowa first, but they'll have to contend with this strong base of grassroots support first."
