Toomey Campaign Raises over $1.5 Million in Third Quarter

By TOOMEY FOR SENATE

Allentown, PA – U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey announced today that his campaign has raised over $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. To date, the campaign has raised over $3.1 million from over 20,000 contributors since Mr. Toomey announced his Senate candidacy five and a half months ago. Toomey already has 33 percent more contributors than the total number of donors amassed during the entirety of his 2004 Senate run.

In addition to a successful fundraising quarter, an independent Quinnipiac poll last week showed Mr. Toomey leading both incumbent Democratic Senator Arlen Specter and Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak in general election matchups. It is abundantly clear that Pennsylvanians are excited about Pat Toomey’s candidacy and his solid record of fighting for taxpayers.

“I am honored by the thousands of people who have contributed to my campaign,” Mr. Toomey said. “People all across Pennsylvania are rallying to our message of fiscal responsibility and political balance. They are concerned about the reckless bailouts, extreme policies, and out-of-control debt resulting from one-party control of Washington, and they believe that the country deserves better than that. Together, I believe we will win the fight for fiscal sanity, responsible government, and economic growth.”
