Campaign Fund Raising
Forwarding A Sayre Press Release
In regards to funds raised during the last reporting period, Emmett Hanger stated laws prevented him from raising funds during the legislative session. "I would think as soon as the session was over he would have returned to his home district to seek contributions from the folks who know him best," a spokesman for State Senate Candidate Scott Sayre said. Sayre is challenging Hanger in the June 12th Republican Primary in the 24th District.
Instead Hanger turned to his Richmond insiders for his contributions. "He had time to receive funds from them, just not from the individuals in his district."
Campaign reports show that 84% of the money Hanger raised came from outside his district, compared to 80% of Sayre's money coming from within the district. In fact, the Hanger campaign only had two individual contributors from the district and over 10 big money special interest groups from outside the district. By comparison, the Sayre campaign received no cash contributions from PACs or other special interest groups.
