Newcomer Cady Leads the Pack with Small Money Donations

Jeremy Cady’s campaign for State Representative of the 138th District submitted its Missouri Ethics Commission Report today. With the submission of his report, Cady has clearly raised more than his primary opponent in fundraising and even topped two-term incumbent Lampe in second quarter fundraising.

Cady’s fundraising for the quarter was just shy of $5000.00, reaching a total of $4764.83 in contributions, and putting him at $4976.64 for the election cycle.

Much of Cady’s success is given to small, online contributions. “Over half of Cady’s total contributions were processed online. 86% of his contributors gave online at an average just over $45 per contributor,” states William Wake, Jeremy Cady’s campaign treasurer. Of those contributions processed online, over $1,000 was raised in a single day money bomb fundraiser. “We have had success with our online campaign and we hope to grow stronger in this arena as the race continues,” Wake adds.

“We have done well this quarter,” comments Jeremy Cady. “We have had several small, individual contributions without any large money coming from special interests or PACs. I am sure the fundraising would have been even greater had so many people not been affected by the current economic crunch. Higher energy and food prices coupled with a tighter job market have impacted those people my candidacy most seeks to help. A removal of the ethanol mandate and ensuring the State of Missouri tightens its own belt, providing tax relief so our families can afford to eat and our parents can afford to drive to work should be high on our priority list.”
