Former Delegate Jeff Frederick and candidate for the Virginia Senate raised $112,954.06* from 216* donations for the June 30th filing period, with a cash-on-hand of $90,370.61.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the rush of support we’ve received from across Northern Virginia for our campaign to end politics as usual in Virginia,” said Frederick. “The sheer number of people who made a financial contribution was all the more impressive given our late entry into this race due to the redistricting. I’m humbled by the grassroots support and the gaining momentum of our campaign as we continue to take our message directly to the voters of the 36th District.”
The announcement about his fundraising also comes as Frederick, a Republican, said he will kick off his campaign at his headquarters in Dumfries on Saturday, July 30.
Even though we started working out of our campaign headquarters in the Town of Dumfries over a month ago, we haven’t yet had a grand opening nor a campaign kickoff.
So, mark your calendars for Saturday, July 30 at 10am. We’ll have food and drinks, a speech or two, and celebrate our campaign to end politics as usual in Virginia. It’s free to attend and kids are more than welcome. After, if you are so inclined, we’ll be going door-to-door.
Here are the details:
