| Description | Madia Raises More Than $690,000 in Second Fundraising Quarter
MAPLE GROVE — Ashwin Madia, the DFL-endorsed candidate in Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District, today announced that his campaign raised $692,940.62 during the second quarter of 2008.
Since announcing his candidacy in October 2007, Madia has raised a total of $1,052,812.05.
“The outpouring of support we have received shows how much the people of the 3rd Congressional District believe in this campaign,” said Iraq war veteran and DFL-endorsed candidate for Congress Ashwin Madia. “I am honored to have the support of so many Minnesotans and am thrilled to see the local dedication to make our community a better place for middle class families. This campaign is about taking our country in a new direction. We are fighting to turn our economy around, reduce gas prices and responsibly bring our soldiers home from Iraq – a message that is clearly resonating throughout the district.”
Based on numbers provided in a press release issued by Republican opponent Erik Paulsen on July 8th, Madia out-raised Paulsen in the second quarter. Additionally, Madia’s cash on hand is $738,148.83, shrinking Paulsen’s cash on hand advantage by 27 percent compared to the first quarter of 2008, which ended March 31. Madia’s fundraising accomplishment comes despite not having won the DFL endorsement until April 12, and despite Paulsen’s clear sailing for the Republican endorsement during the same period. |
