Tim Griffin Announces First Quarter Fundraising Total

$183,765 raised, $404,363 cash on hand. LITTLE ROCK - Second District Congressional candidate, U.S. Army Reservist and former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin today announced his campaign raised $183,765.41 for the first quarter of 2010.

Griffin’s first quarter fundraising pushes the total raised since the start of his campaign to $575,527.99.

“Our fundraising success is thanks to hundreds of Arkansans who want their elected officials - and the Congress - to work for them, not against them,” Griffin said. “I am humbled by the generosity of Arkansans who support our campaign to elect a common sense conservative in the Second District and a new conservative majority to replace Nancy Pelosi as speaker.

“Our campaign is growing daily, and we continue to build momentum,” Griffin added. “I will continue to discuss the issues important to the people of Central Arkansas: private sector job creation, controlling runaway spending and the debt, and making government a smaller part of our lives."

To date, Griffin’s campaign has received 1,340 contributions. Of that total, 953 (71.1%) have come from individuals in Arkansas.

He enters the run up to the May 18 Republican Primary with $404,363.31 cash on hand.
