Jeanette Rishell Announces Over $40,000 Raised in 3rd Quarter Fundraising Period

MANASSAS - Democratic House of Delegates candidate Jeanette Rishell has reported raising $47,025 during the fundraising period which ended August 31.

“Despite the recession, the voters of the 50th District and Virginians across the Commonwealth are still investing in the future and in our vision for Virginia,” Rishell said. “I’ve had support from both Republicans and Democrats because people know that good leadership in the House of Delegates helps all Virginians."

In 2009’s previous reports, over 95% of Rishell’s reportable contributions have come from private individuals. By contrast, less than 30% percent of Delegate Jackson Miller's 2009 previous reportable contributions have come from private individuals.

"Voters should pay attention to fundraising reports," Rishell said. "My opponent has been given a lot of money from special interests in Richmond because they know he's with them. I have contributions from hard-working Virginians because they know I'll be their voice for a brighter tomorrow for our families."
