Over $124,000 Raised in 2 1/2 Month Filing Period

Hickory, NC - Daniel Johnson, candidate in North Carolina's 10th Congressional District, will report over $340,000 raised to date in his bid to unseat incumbent Rep. Patrick McHenry. After this most recent financial filing due today, Johnson will continue to be among the strongest Congressional challengers in North Carolina.

"Our continued fundraising success shows the strong coalition we are building here in the 10th District," said Johnson, "People in our community are joining with us because they are ready to end partisan bickering and want leaders who will work hard to find real solutions to the serious problems facing Western North Carolina families."

Daniel Johnson reported raising over $124,000 in the shortened filing period from April 17 to June 30, and had over $218,000 in the bank at the end of the second quarter. Almost 1,000 individuals have given to the campaign and 89% of the individuals who contributed to the campaign live in North Carolina, demonstrating the great enthusiasm for Johnson's candidacy in the state.

"Western North Carolina is ready for a change in leadership," said Johnson. "In Congress, I will be a leader who is dedicated to serving our families by lowering the price of gasoline, bringing new, high-paying jobs to the region, and providing our military men and women with the resources they need."
