Important Fundraising Goal

Our campaign has an important fundraising goal and we need your help to raise $5000 online before the close of the fundraising quarter on December 31st. Can we count on your immediate contribution to help us close the year strong?

Our campaign is already experiencing much momentum:

* In March, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich helped launch our campaign with an endorsement and fund raiser.
* Senate President Ken Pruitt serves as honorary Chairman of our campaign.
* We earned early endorsements from community leaders such as St. Lucie County School Board Member Judi Miller.

Help us build on this momentum by reaching our critical goal. Whether you contribute on our campaign website, on slatecard, or on rightroots, contributing is fast, secure, simple, and critical to the success of our campaign.

Contributing now will help us sustain our new campaign headquarters, spread our conservative message throughout the district, and demonstrate to the press and other potential contributors that the people have confidence in our ability to win.

Your contribution of $1000, $100, or even $10 will bring us closer to victory. The amount is less important than your immediate participation. Please contribute today.

Have a Happy New Year!

Today Rep. Gayle Harrell announced several key additions to her congressional campaign team. These additions include Senate President Ken Pruitt serving as Honorary Campaign Chairman. “Public Opinion Strategies” Gene Ulm will serve as the pollster. The media team will be led by Adam Goodman of the Victory Group. The General Consulting duties will be handled by Randy Nielsen and Richard Johnston of Public Concepts.

Gayle Harrell. “We have a great team in place; I am especially excited and honored to have Senate President Ken Pruitt serve as my honorary campaign chairman.”

“Representative Harrell will be a strong leader for our district,” said Pruitt. “She has the experience and leadership to go to Washington and make a difference, and her commitments to fiscal responsibility, keeping our country safe and providing families with more healthcare options will benefit Florida and the United States. Gayle is the only candidate with the message and experience needed to beat Tim Mahoney next fall.”

Below is the complete list of Gayle Harrell’s Campaign team:

Senate President Ken Pruitt: Ken brings over 20 years of political experience to the table, having represented the voters of the Treasure Coast since 1990. Ken now serves as the President of the Florida Senate, a post he has held since 2006.

Our Fundraising Momentum

I wanted to share with you some exciting news about Gayle Harrell’s fundraising momentum in her race to restore our values to Congress. Consider the following statistics based on itemized contributions for the third quarter:

• Gayle raised over $100,000 for the 3rd fundraising quarter in a row.
• Gayle raised 100% of contributions over $200 from the people of Florida.
• Gayle’s support comes from within District 16. Almost 25% of her contributions come from within the District.
• Gayle had 270 individual donors with 121 small donations under $200.

The numbers are in and the message is clear: State Representative Gayle Harrell has the support of the district and will be a voice for Florida issues.

Gayle told me that she’s humbled by the support she’s receiving from the people she hopes to represent. Our campaign team is very proud of Gayle and what she’s been able to accomplish. It is this momentum that makes her best-equipped to defeat Tim Mahoney in November.

Please consider helping us build on this momentum by making a contribution here
