Jack McDonald, whose campaign is still technically in exploratory mode, has reported another impressive fundraising quarter.
Raised in Q3: $298,000
Raised to Date: $932,000
Cash on Hand: $805,000
McDonald's continued broad appeal has enabled him to earn a very large percentage of his contributions from Republicans and Independents.
"I've never supported a Democrat before, but I'm very enthusiastic about Jack McDonald's candidacy," said David May, CEO of Third Coast Capital Management. "Jack McDonald goes beyond party labels to focus on what's right for Texas. He's a strong, independent-minded leader with solid values and real-world business experience. He's exactly the kind of fiscally-responsible representative we need in Washington."
And of course, the continued success in putting his financial house in order has the continued interest of the DCCC.
DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen said "Jack McDonald's continued fundraising success makes this district a good pick up opportunity for Democrats. As a self-made successful businessman who has created thousands of jobs and a fiscal conservative who currently serves as vice-Chair of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, Jack has the right experience to get our economy moving again and tackle the difficult problems our country faces."
