Waterloo, IA - The Bruce Braley for Congress campaign announced today that it will report having raised over $323,000 when it files its first quarter 2012 Federal Election Commission report, due April 15th. The report will also show that the campaign has raised more than $1.4 million during the 2012 election cycle, and currently has more than $828,000 total cash on hand. More than 2,000 Iowans have contributed to Braley's campaign this cycle.
"Thanks to the support of more than 2,000 Iowa donors, Braley for Congress had the best first quarter we've ever had," Braley for Congress campaign manager Molly Scherrman said. "A record year followed by another record quarter shows just how much Iowans want someone in Congress working for us to break through the gridlock and create jobs, strengthen the middle class, and stand up for veterans."
Braley raised more in the first quarter of 2012 than he has in any other comparable quarter since first running for Congress in 2006.
In January, Braley for Congress reported raising $1.1 million during 2011, the most ever raised by a 1st District Congressional candidate during a non-election year.
