Nixon for Governor Reports $3.1 Million in Bank

SAINT LOUIS, Mo. -- Today, Jay Nixon for Governor will report $3.1 million on-hand on its third-quarter finance report. 

The Nixon campaign raised nearly $3.8 million in September and more than $5.25 million in the third quarter of 2008.  The campaign has now received nearly 25,000 individual contributions, the majority of which were of $100 or less.

"As Missourians struggle to make ends meet during this economic crisis, they’re looking for a Governor who will take the state in a new direction. And that’s why so many Missourians are uniting behind Jay Nixon in this race. Missourians know that Jay Nixon is the only candidate who can turn this economy around and bring about the change we need," said Oren Shur, Nixon’s campaign spokesman.  "In Washington, Congressman Hulshof helped create this economic crisis, which has hit families in our state so hard.  Nobody wants to bring those failed Washington policies back here to Missouri."
