(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) July 14, 2009 – Republican candidate Jim Ward today announced his campaign has brought in over $115,000 since he announced his candidacy for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District on June 3, 2009. The campaign filed its report electronically with the Federal Elections Commission.
“I am grateful for the tremendous support people have shown for my candidacy,” said Jim Ward. “Everywhere I go in the district, I’m encouraged to hear that people feel that I best represent the diversity of the 5th Congressional District, that I can beat Harry Mitchell and that I have the unique experience necessary to make the right kind of change in Washington.”
Since announcing his candidacy for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District seat in the 2010 election cycle, Jim Ward has met with business leaders, voters and elected officials from around the state, sharing his ideas of appropriate action the Congress should be taking on the nation’s current problems.
“Our contributors represent a broad cross section of community and business leaders and Republican Party activists from across Arizona,” said Jim Ward. “They agree with me that there’s the right kind of change and the wrong kind of change. They’re concerned, as I am, that Nancy Pelosi’s agenda is the wrong kind of change to make the American economy strong once again. That’s why I pledge to drive change that allows the creation of jobs through small businesses and the free market economy, change that allows us to build the best solutions for education on a local basis, to determine the best options for our heath care directly with our physician, to maintain the right to cast a secret ballot in our own workplace and to make fiscally responsible decisions so that we don’t mortgage the future of our children and grandchildren.”
The majority of Jim Ward’s total contributions come from Arizonans, with the bulk of those funds contributed by individuals who reside in CD 5.
