John Shadegg's fundraising dramatically outstrips opponent


To: Shadegg Friends

From: Congressman John Shadegg

Thank you very much!

With your very generous help, our campaign dramatically outraised my opponent in the most recent fundraising period.

In the most recent quarter, our campaign raised $564,205, which is well over twice as much as the $235,000 raised by my opponent.

This figure is well above our prior record for any fundraising quarter.

While total dollars raised is an important indication of support, even more important is the amount netted after deducting ongoing campaign expenditures. By this measure, we did even better.

In the most recent quarter, after deducting ongoing expenses, our campaign netted $416,000 while my opponent's campaign only netted $74,000. This means our campaign netted almost six times as much as my opponent.


With our tremendous success this quarter, we have almost twice as much cash-on-hand as my opponent. While his cash-in--hand of $706,000 is substantial and means we must continue working very aggressively right up to Election Day, our cash-on-hand of $1,354,000 sets an all-time record for our campaign and is extremely encouraging.

Shirley and I sincerely thank you for your very generous support.

If the Arizona Democratic Party or my opponent thought they were going to be able to out work, out raise or out spend our team, with your help we have sent them a very clear message they were wrong.


I am excited about the fall campaign and intend to continue to work, with your help, tirelessly toward victory in November.
