         Raises nearly $300.000 in just over two months 

On the heels of recent major political victories, Lance for Congress announced today that it will report nearly $300,000 in its first quarter FEC filing, adding continued momentum to an already surging campaign for the 7th Congressional District seat. Lance for Congress also reported over $255,000 cash on hand for the June primary.

 In addition, the campaign has already raised over thirty thousand dollars in just two weeks since the March 31 reporting deadline. This thirty thousand is on top of the cash on hand as of the March 31st deadline.

“This is just another example of the vast support for Leonard Lance and his proven conservative record of fighting for taxpayers,” said Campaign Manager Amanda Woloshen.

“This announcement comes just days after an almost 2-to-1 victory at the Somerset GOP convention, which combined with an earlier endorsement from the Hunterdon County GOP accounts for approximately 70% of the 7th District’s primary vote. Our campaign is surging and we could not be happier on both the fundraising and political fronts,” concluded Woloshen.

“I am honored by the significant financial support that my campaign has received. We are extremely proud of our outstanding fundraising and political achievements.” said Leonard Lance.

Lance who is so committed to bringing about positive conservative change in Congress has contributed his own money to the campaign to help spread that message.
