PAC raises over $566,000 in first three months of 2010
ST. PAUL, Minnesota – Governor Tim Pawlenty’s Freedom First PAC
announced today that it raised over $1.84 million in its first six
months, including over $566,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The funds
are being used to spread the Governor’s common-sense message and elect
conservative candidates in 2010.
“President Obama and Congressional Democrats are taking our country in
the wrong direction and Americans have had enough,” said Governor Tim
Pawlenty. “We need to put freedom first again in America, and stop the
out-of-control spending in Washington. The early support for our
organization will help us elect candidates who can rein in Washington
and renew the promise of freedom.”
Since the beginning of the year, the majority of Governor Pawlenty’s
political activity has been on behalf of other candidates, state
parties, and the RGA. In the last three months, he’s attended fund
raisers and events to help Republicans in more than half a dozen
different states, including Alabama, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nevada, New Hampshire, and Texas.
In a report to be filed with the Federal Election Commission next week,
the Freedom First PAC will report that it received nearly 2,000 new
donations in the first quarter of 2010 and began April with over
$911,000 on hand.
“We’re very pleased with another strong quarter for the PAC,” said Phil
Musser, senior advisor for the Freedom First PAC. “Between his work for
the RGA, the PAC, and the many events for state parties, Tim Pawlenty
is moving the needle in terms of helping Republicans prepare to win
this fall.”
