September was a very good month for Democrat Mark Harris (pictured) in more ways than one.
Dear friends,
A recent report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel states that County Executive Mark Harris (D) raised over $80k in the month of September alone:
In the 6th District, state Sen. Glenn Grothman, a Republican of Town of Osceola in Fond du Lac County, spent $386,320 on his campaign in the period, including purchases of radio and television time. The period covers spending during the final weeks of his Republican primary campaign. Grothman won the four-way primary on Aug. 12.
His campaign received $341,976 in contributions during the period and ended September with $145,820 cash on hand, according to the federal report.
The contribution total was more than three times the amount, $101,467, received by the campaign of Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris, a Democrat of Oshkosh. Nearly $80,000 of the total came in September, according to campaign representatives.
And the good news does not end there, not by a long shot! The same article also states a little earlier on that State Senator Grothman has already blown through most of his fundraising and that both candidates are on even footing with their cash on hand going into the dog days of the campaign cycle! We have just about done what
we as a community set out to do back at the beginning September. We have given Mark Harris the ability to take Grothman head on and win. MRA extremist Glenn Grothman can no longer just bank on the R next to his name for a win, he will have to fight. I am very thankful for that and I thank every single one of you guys who made it happen. We raised over $2k during just one football game (A very bad football game but I digress.) and so much more was raised even after that, I lost count on it all. It was a truly marvelous effort. In conclusion, the momentum is clearly on Mark's side and I think we should be the final gust of wind that pushes him passed the finish line and into the Halls of Congress!
Sincerely,
Edgeworth
