Branstad raised $2 million in last quarter

Former Gov. Terry Branstad raised $2,083,516 from 13,189 contributors from July 15- Oct. 14, according to the latest campaign finance disclosure report.

The report also shows the Branstad campaign with $842,369.57 cash on hand as it enters the final two weeks.

“We are excited to have a broad base of overwhelming support throughout Iowa,” said Branstad 2010 campaign manager Jeff Boeyink. “Terry Branstad's message of job creation and fixing Iowa government is clearly resonating with Iowans. This support, along with our continued fundraising efforts, will allow us to run a strong, robust campaign through Election Day.”

So far, the campaign has raised $7.6 million in total campaign contributions for the 2010 gubernatorial campaign cycle.

“This level of support comes as a result of Terry Branstad's commitment to visit every Iowa county, share his vision at colleges and universities across the state, and earn the support of thousands of Iowans across the state by sharing his positive message for job creation and education,” said Boeyink.
