Here is the article in the Gwinnett Daily Post today. Thanks to you guys our campaign is off to a good start, but we still have a long ways to go. By the way, there is a typo I am a small business owner not an attorney.
Some local candidates have been pleased with their campaign fundraising, after reports for the last half of 2009 were due last week.
Josh Clark, one of three Republicans vying for the House District 98 seat, sent out a press release excited about the $25,427.88 he raised from 74 donors.
And Brett Harrell, who is seeking the 106th District seat, also raised nearly $30,000, but he had 140 contributors.
“In the tough economic times we are in, it is a true testament of support to have so many people invest in me at this early stage of the campaign,” Harrell said in his own press release. “It is an honor to have the support of so many individuals willing to invest their hard earned dollars in me. These supporters know that I have a long record of taking action and delivering on vital issues, and they know I will continue that record at the State Capitol. And I won’t let them down.”
Clark said his support showed voters were interested in his “message of fresh solutions and conservative values.”
“I’m very pleased with our initial fundraising report and I’m honored by the outpouring of volunteers and supporters who’ve joined our cause of fiscal responsibility, limited government, and accountability,” said the attorney from Buford.
Clark is seeking the House district being vacated by Rep. Bobby Reese, who is running for Congress.
The other candidates in the upcoming GOP primary include attorney Jason Thompson, who raised about $13,000, and former county Chairman Wayne Hill, who raised $8,200.
Josh, his wife, Chelsey, and his four children reside in Buford, Georgia, where he runs two local small businesses and is actively involved in the community. He currently serves on the executive board for the Berea School of Ministry, coaches his son’s baseball team and currently serves on the 7th District Committee of the Republican Party of Ga. They attend the “The Family Church,” First Baptist of Sugar Hill.
