MI-09: Gary Peters Q3 Fundraising Totals

The moment you’ve all been waiting for, and 4 days before they are due to the FEC, Peters for Congress is proud to announce our 2007 Q3 Fund raising total!

The Peters Campaign is off to an aggressive start, raising over $217,000 in the first six weeks!

That sum was raised from over 430 individual contributors, a sign of the overwhelming demand for change in Michigan’s 9th district.

Gary himself is very excited about the results, and is ready to get to work.

“These numbers show that our campaign will be extremely aggressive and highly competitive,” Peters said. “We want to give Oakland County residents the change they want and the representation they deserve in Congress, and based on the amount of support we’ve garnered in such a short period of time, I’m confident we will have the resources to do just that.”

Many of the contributions came from ActBlue, where  Gary raised $41,564.26 in the 3rd quarter. The average ActBlue donation was under $250.

The campaign has also received many early endorsements, including the AFL-CIO, The Michigan Building Trades Council,  Triangle Pride PAC, and nearly every 9th district elected official.

The vigorous fund-raising and numerous endorsements are just the beginning. This will be a long, aggressive campaign that ultimately will bring about positive change for Oakland County. Are you ready to get to work?
