Udall Gears Up for General Election with Nearly $2.9 Million in the Bank

Albuquerque, NM – Congressman Tom Udall's campaign for U.S. Senate is heading into the general election contest with almost $2.9 million cash-on-hand. Udall, who is steadily building his bank account for a competitive general election raised $728,211 between April 1 and May 14, 2008.

“We are extremely grateful to all of Tom’s supporters for their enthusiasm and generosity,” Campaign Manager Amanda Cooper said today. “They are helping ensure that Tom’s record of doing what’s right for New Mexico is resonating strongly throughout our state.”

Udall reported total expenses of $435,170 and finished the period with $2,876,030 cash-on-hand.

This is the third consecutive reporting period Udall has outraised both of his potential GOP opponents combined. He reported a strong total of over $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2008, which ended March 31, and in the final months of 2007 he raised over $1 million.

"New Mexicans know that Tom Udall is a leader with the integrity to do what’s right for our state and the nation. We can count on him in the U.S Senate to get things done for our interests, not special interests,” concluded Cooper.
