Mark Leads All 5th District Republicans In Cash on Hand In Latest Quarterly Filing
Mark Greenberg, Republican candidate for Congress in the 5th Congressional District, announced today that his campaign committee reported $230,000 cash on hand in the most recent financial filing.
Greenberg, a successful businessman who has created hundreds of jobs over the past 35 years, has led all other Republican candidates in the District in cash on hand at each reporting milestone since announcing his candidacy last November.
In the latest filing, Greenberg outdistanced both Sam Caligiuri and Justin Bernier who reported $190,000 and $197,000 respectively.
“I said from the beginning that I would have the right message and the right resources, and I continue to be in the best position of all the Republican candidates as we approach the August 10th primary,” Greenberg said. “Our tremendous volunteer base, our aggressive messaging and media presence, our endorsements from Independence Caucus and Change the Congress in 2010, and our financial resources are building the momentum we need to prevail in the primary and defeat Chris Murphy in November. Neither of my Republican opponents will have the resources to go toe to toe with Murphy and his incumbent PAC and labor resources.”
“I am meeting with voters 12 to 14 hours a day, visiting businesses during the day and signing them up for “Main Street For Mark” and by walking the neighborhoods, door-to-door at night in towns all across the district,” Greenberg said. “My personal appeal to the businesses and citizens of the 5th District has given me a great opportunity to hear each and every day the real-world concerns of these folks.”
“People are tremendously passionate about this election,” Greenberg said. “They are fed up with Washington, and they’ve had it with career politicians like Chris Murphy who care more about getting re-elected than they do about putting people back to work. The bottom line is they are angry and have a right to be. They want change, and I promise I will bring real change that gives optimism and hope for the future.”
“I have led all Republican candidates in “cash on hand” in every reporting quarter since I announced my candidacy in November, and I will continue to work harder and have more resources than my competitors between now, the primary, and the general election.”
