Thursday, October 13, 2011
The John Loughlin for Congress Campaign reported raising $23,377 for the fundraising quarter ending September 30, 2011.
Michael Napolitano, the official spokesperson for the John Loughlin campaign, issued a statement with regards to the fundraising figures. According to Napolitano, The figure is impressive given that John Loughlin is in Iraq serving his country and has yet to even formally declare his candidacy.
Napolitano stated, “Our focus has been on gaining grass roots support for our candidate and in that area we have been extremely successful. We were able to do some fundraising without our candidate here as we are pretty much in uncharted territory. We also expect to build on it in the current quarter. John Loughlin has proven he can raise money, as he raised approximately $1 million dollars during the last campaign. I have no doubt he will hit the ground running when he returns and be very successful in this area."

In addition, the vast majority of donors donated small amounts as we set the minimum donation amount to attend at $30."
John Loughlin is in Iraq serving his country as an Aviation Logistics Advisor to the Iraqi Army Aviation Service, and is expected to return in December.
