Perriello Continues Record-Breaking Campaign
Posted by Greg on Wednesday, July 16
Individual Donations from all 22 Localities in District Support Campaign for New Leadership
The second quarter fundraising reports just filed with the Federal Election Commission show that Democratic challenger Tom Perriello has continued to outraise incumbent Rep. Virgil Goode this election cycle and broke Democratic fundraising records for the fourth straight quarter in the race for the fifth congressional district.
"Even while rejecting all donations from lobbyists and corporate interest groups, Tom Perriello has continued to generate support at a record pace," said Jessica Barba, Perriello's communications director. "Additionally, our campaign has opened six offices, logged thousands of volunteer hours, and knocked on thousands of doors as we build the largest grassroots movement this district has ever seen. This campaign is not only prepared to win, but prepared to win the right way."
In the second quarter, the Perriello campaign raised $313,000 with over 95% coming from individuals. With donations from every county and municipality in the district, Perriello has raised over $920,000 this election cycle. Almost 25% of Rep. Goode's fundraising this cycle has come from political action committees. He has raised over $1.5 million from corporate and DC lobbyists during his congressional career, including over $100,000 from oil, gas, and electric utility interest groups.
With 111 days until Election Day, the Perriello campaign has already raised more than any previous Democratic challenger to Rep. Goode. The Perriello campaign also has logged over 3000 volunteer hours, and tithed 325 hours to local charities through its volunteer tithing initiative. Mr. Perriello has been on the road all July, meeting with voters in all 22 counties and municipalities in the fifth district, discussing his seven-point plan for economic revival. The campaign has opened offices in Franklin County, Bedford, Danville, Martinsville, Farmville and Charlottesville.
