Public Financing: we did it!

We’re happy to say that the Friends of Gary Hooser Campaign is first to report…we’ve reached the threshold for public financing!

In the past month, small donations of $10 to $100 from voters statewide have taken the campaign past the $50,000 mark to qualify for matching funds of up to $85,000.

“Politics should be about the people, not about big money or entrenched special interests. Public financing is very much a part of my progressive outlook and I believe is one of the ways that my campaign stands apart from some of the others.”

— Gary Hooser, Lieutenant Governor Candidate
