Fung Reports Strongest Quarter to Date Raising $136,000
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
The Fung for Governor Campaign has announced that Cranston Mayor Allan Fung - the endorsed Republican candidate for Governor of Rhode Island - has raised almost $136,000 for the quarter ending in June 30, 2014.
This fundraising total marks Fung’s highest single-quarter total to date and caps three months of grassroots support for his campaign.
“The last three months have been very exciting for Team Fung, with strong grassroots political and fundraising support and a volunteer force that grows larger every day,” said Fung. “We received personal endorsements from twenty three Republican city and town committee Chairs, committee endorsements from twenty one Republican city and town committees, which is a record for the RI GOP, and most importantly, the endorsement of the Rhode Island Republican Party by an overwhelming margin of nearly 3 to 1. With our first television ads having aired in May and June, I am now working hard to spread my message of government reform, tax reduction, and job creation to all Rhode Islanders, to let them know how the Fung Plan will turn around Rhode Island.”

“The outpouring of grassroots support among Republicans and independent voters, coupled with strong financial support from within the state, clearly illustrates that voters believe in Allan Fung’s vision for Rhode Island,” said Fung Communications Director, Robert Coupe. “Rhode Island needs a leader with the commitment, skills, and sense of urgency to turn our state around. Mayor Fung’s leadership brought more than one thousand new jobs to Cranston and saved taxpayers millions of dollars by consolidating services, achieving real pension reform and moving new unionized public employees into 401(k) style retirement plans. The results are real - three years without a tax increase in Cranston.”
