Friday, July 15, 2011
Republican Senate candidate Barry Hinckley has reported raising $152,000 in the first four months of his campaign, with just over $50,000 coming in the second quarter that ended on June 30.
The Hinckley campaign says the major goals of the campaign’s first full quarter were to establish a professional and focused campaign organization in Rhode Island, build a strong and aggressive social media campaign, to travel through Rhode Island meeting with supporters, business leaders, and hardworking Rhode Islanders, and to kick off Hinckley’s bicycle rally, Ride 4 Jobs.
They say Hinckley has set ambitious fundraising goals for the third quarter.

“Rhode Islanders deserve a Senator who is going to change the status quo by ensuring the solvency of Social Security and Medicare, tackling unemployment through serious jobs policy reform and tax reform, and balancing the federal budget,” he said.
