Braley for Iowa will report over $3.1 million cash on hand as of March 31
DES MOINES, IA - Braley for Iowa announced today that nearly 8,000 Iowans from all 99 Iowa counties have contributed to Rep. Bruce Braley's campaign for US Senate since he announced last year that he was running to succeed Sen. Tom Harkin. Nearly 1,700 Iowans gave to Braley for the first time since January 1 alone.
Braley for Iowa also announced that it had received more than $1.25 million in contributions between January 1 and March 31, and had more than $3.1 million cash on hand at the end of March. Braley for Iowa has raised more than $5.25 million since Braley announced his candidacy.
Braley for Iowa spokesman Jeff Giertz said, "With this outpouring of support, Iowans are saying loud and clear they want a Senator who will fight for the middle class to create jobs, help small businesses succeed, work to create economic opportunities, and protect Social Security and Medicare. Growing up in rural Iowa and working his way through college doing jobs like road construction, Bruce Braley understands the concerns of working Iowans, and he has a record of accomplishments for Iowa's working families. We look forward to continuing to discuss Bruce's pro-middle class message and building on our grassroots momentum all across the state."
Braley for Iowa's April Quarterly fundraising report is due to the Federal Election Commission on April 15.
Bruce Braley grew up in Brooklyn, Iowa, and worked his way through Iowa State and law school at the University of Iowa doing jobs in road construction, at a grain elevator, and waiting tables. For nearly 25 years, Bruce worked as an attorney in Waterloo, where he represented Iowans: farmers struggling through the farm crisis, people who lost their jobs, and families denied insurance benefits they deserved.
With no prior political experience, Bruce was elected to the US House in 2006, and has been re-elected three times. Among his accomplishments, Bruce has successfully worked to cut taxes for small businesses that hire unemployed workers and veterans; created a job training program for Iowans seeking work in renewable energy; and secured back-pay that was denied to 800 Iowa National Guard members. Bruce is running for the US Senate to fight for the middle class because that's where he comes from.
Bruce lives in Waterloo with his wife, Carolyn. They have three grown children: Lisa, David, and Paul.
