Thousands of Minnesotans Help Clark Top $600,000
Strong 4th Quarter puts Clark among top fundraising challengers nationally again
St. Cloud, MN - Senator Tarryl Clark, candidate for Congress in Minnesota's 6th Congresional District, today announced that her campaign ended 2009 having raised more than $600,000 from a grassroots network of more than 5,000 individual donors in just 22 weeks.
While national fundraising reports are still coming in, Clark's 4th Quarter fundraising puts her once again among the top-fundraising challengers in the country. In the 4th Quarter alone, Clark's campaign raised $293,953 from an incredible 2906 donors - including 2622 new donors.
"Our thousands of small-dollar donors are a testament to the enthusiasm for Tarryl's campaign, and a clear demonstration of the kind of grassroots network we're building to win this election," said campaign manager Zach Rodvold. "Minnesotans are excited about Tarryl's agenda of standing up for them to create jobs and deliver results, and tired of Michele Bachmann's relentless pursuit of her own agenda."
Clark ended the year with just under $389,000 cash on hand.
"Michele Bachmann is spending her time traveling the country, sharing the stage with Sarah Palin and building her national fundraising base," said Rodvold. "This outpouring of support from literally thousands of people shows that folks have had enough of Bachmann's personal agenda, and are committed to electing Tarryl Clark to Congress to fight for them."
