After One Month On The Campaign Trail, Chris Hackett Shows Strong Fundraising Numbers in PA-10

Reports over $245,000 cash on hand after just 31 days on Campaign Trail

Dallas -- Business and community leader Chris Hackett has established himself as the Republican to beat in the race to unseat liberal Democrat Chris Carney after just 31 days of active campaigning.

The Chris Hackett for Congress Campaign Committee today announced it will report over $245,000 cash on hand as of the September 30, 2007 filing deadline. At the same point in the 2005 cycle, Carney for Congress reported less than $14,000 in the bank.

"My wife Ramah and I are grateful to have the strong support of so many business leaders and grassroots activists from across this district and throughout Pennsylvania," said Chris Hackett. "Pennsylvanians know that they are getting a bad deal from Washington. Liberal politicians are wasting too many of our tax dollars and not effectively securing our borders. They remain mired in partisan bickering. It's time for change. Northeastern Pennsylvania needs a Congressman who will fight for taxpayers, work to create jobs and make America strong and safe. That is what I intend to do."
