Bill Bolling = Big Money!

The most recent campaign finance reports filed show that Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling raised $443K the first half of 2008 from 657 donors (408 of which were less than $100 from commonwealth citizens) and has $664K on hand for his re-election bid. According to a Bolling release, he says most of the cash was raised in the past quarter, as the GA was in session from Jan.-Mar. when fund raising is prohibited.

“I am very pleased by the fund raising success we enjoyed during the first half of 2008,” Bolling said. “I am honored that so many people have agreed to invest in my re-election campaign this early in the process. It takes a great deal of money to run a modern political campaign, and based on the strong support we have developed thus far, I am more confident than ever that we will be able to run a successful re-election campaign next year.”

Indeed.

    Bravo! Here’s to an even bigger next quarter. We’re on the road to taking back the State House.
