Kerrey Campaign Off To Fast Start

OMAHA – In the first month of his bid for the U.S. Senate, Bob Kerrey’s campaign raised $900,000 from nearly 1,600 individuals, including 1,030 Nebraskans, along with 52 Party Committees and PAC’s.

“We are grateful for the generosity of our supporters,” said Kerrey’s campaign manager, Paul Johnson. “It’s a clear sign that Nebraskans are tired of ‘politics as usual’ and want to elect a leader who will tell the truth and cross party lines to address the serious problems we face as a nation.”

Johnson noted that the Kerrey campaign had only one month to raise more funds than any of his opponents raised in three months.

“While our opponents spar over ‘Twitter-Gate’ and defend tax breaks for the well-to-do at the expense of the working Nebraskans,” Johnson said, “Bob Kerrey is outlining his vision for restoring fiscal sanity, improving our national security, and reforming a dysfunctional Congress. There is a ‘night and day’ difference between Kerrey and our opponents that will become crystal-clear in the general election.”
