Largest fundraising event in Tucson history
Kenski poll indicates incumbent vulnerable
Tucson, AZ – Senator Tim Bee’s campaign released initial estimates from the fundraising event featuring President Bush. Over 400 supporters attended the sold out event with the expected donations raised to well exceed $500,000. Final numbers will be released on the next scheduled FEC filing.
The boost of financial support comes on the heels of an Arizona Opinion poll that indicates Ms. Giffords is a very vulnerable Democratic incumbent. Bee trails the incumbent 40%-47% with 13% undecided. According to Margaret Kenski, the well-respected southern Arizona pollster, the race becomes even more competitive when the issues are discussed.
Senator Bee’s fundraiser has raised the bar for future events in Tucson.
