Malloy Says He’s 4/5th of the way to Public Financing Cash

Dan Malloy’s campaign just released this:

“After raising more than $100,000 in qualifying contributions in the month of March alone, the Dan Malloy for Governor campaign’s strong fundraising efforts have continued into April.  The campaign announced today that it has now passed $200,000 in total qualifying contributions towards Connecticut’s Citizens’ Election Program.  To qualify for up to $8.5 million, a candidate must raise $250,000 in small contributions of $100 or less.

Since declaring his run for Governor Malloy has more than doubled his qualifying contributions, with small donations from more than 2,818 contributors.

“Our recent groundswell of fundraising support is proof positive that Dan’s message is resonating, and that we’re building the kind of grassroots, bottom-up campaign that will lead to victory in August, and in November,” said Campaign Manager Dan Kelly.  “People aren’t just excited about Dan’s candidacy, they’re also clearly glad to be supporting Connecticut’s clean elections law.  They want to make Dan Malloy the first Governor elected under the Citizens’ Election Program.”

Concluded Kelly, “Dan’s the only candidate who has grown jobs, expanded access to health care, built affordable housing, lowered crime, and balanced 14 years of consecutive budgets.  That’s experience money can’t buy.”

Malloy has travelled the state in recent months meeting with community leaders, elected officials, members of the labor and business communities and others, sharing his ideas for moving Connecticut forward.  He recently outlined his position on a number of issues critical to Connecticut’s future, such as jobs, the economy, education, transportation, and more.  The information is available now at www.danmalloy.com.”
