Last quarter, Raj Goyle set a new fundraising record when his campaign raised $400,000. This quarter they've set another record for the district by ending with nearly $600,000 cash on hand. This sum is made even more impressive when you consider where it's coming from: nearly half of the contributions were less than $100.
RAJ GOYLE FOR CONGRESS RAISES $252,953.29 IN FINAL QUARTER OF 2009
Six Months Into Race, State Rep. Goyle Sets Cash on Hand Record
Wichita, KS - State Rep. Raj Goyle reported his campaign raised $252,953.29 during the fourth quarter of 2009. Goyle's campaign now has $583,483.28 cash on hand, a record amount for a challenger going into an election year in Kansas' Fourth Congressional District.
"I am deeply humbled by the tremendous support I've received from people across the Fourth District and the State of Kansas," said Goyle. "During these difficult times, as people struggle to pay their bills and keep their jobs, I'm more confident than ever that what people want from leaders in Washington is hard work, bipartisanship, and a proven record of finding common sense solutions to the challenges we face in Kansas."
With nearly 1,500 contributions since July, Goyle's campaign has more supporters than any other candidate in the race to date. "These numbers reflect the broad appeal of Raj's message of working for common sense solutions to the many problems we face," said former Kansas Lieutenant Governor John Moore. "We need Raj in Congress representing the Fourth District."
Goyle drew on a wide base of support, receiving contributions from Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Nearly half of all contributions Goyle's campaign received during the fourth quarter were less than one hundred dollars. Goyle set a fundraising record in his first quarter, raising over $400,000 during the three-month period which ended September 30.
