From the campaign:
DEERFIELD, IL – In another clear show of support from Illinois voters, Democratic Congressional Candidate Dan Seals today announced a consecutive strong fundraising quarter in the race for the open seat in Illinois’ 10th District.
In the second quarter FEC reporting period that closed on June 30, Seals received $556,156 in contributions. Seals will also report having $792,000 cash-on-hand.
“I’m very appreciative of all the grassroots support we’ve received in this campaign,” said Seals. “Whether I’m talking to people on the phones or at their doorsteps, what we’re hearing loud and clear is that voters want fiscally-responsible, independent leadership from someone who shares their values – and I will be that voice. In Congress, my first job is to create jobs, and this quarter was another strong push in that direction.”
Nearly 80% of contributions to Seals’ campaign come from individual donors.
Dan Seals is a business consultant and lecturer at Northwestern University. The Democratic Nominee for Congress in Illinois’ Tenth District, Seals is a former Director at GE Capital and Group Manager at Sprint. He holds an MBA from the University of Chicago and an MA in International Economics from Johns Hopkins University. He lives in Wilmette with his wife, Mia, and their three daughters.
Seals has drawn national attention and support in his race to win the seat vacated by Republican Mark Kirk.
Decent quarter. Not blowing the barn doors off, but the burn rate doesn’t look too bad if I’m right and he should be getting some national attention as the race continues.
I think its funny that idiot Team ‘Merica calls the quarter a superbig win for Dolt when every media outlets calling it a tie — Whole lot o manlove going on up there in 10
Is it wrong??! ROFLMAO
commenters over at that whiney snot team america blog noticed that bobby dolt gave back almost 10 grand during the quarter but that it wasn’t reported in the press releases and the lazy-corn media didn’t bother to use teh google fact check the dolt.
if it’s accurate that means that dan seals actually outraised bob “can’t help but lie” dold by about 5 large.
oops – dold and his teeny bopper fan club step in it again.
