KRISTI THIBAUT POSTS STRONG FUNDRAISING NUMBERS IN RACE FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

HOUSTON, TX – The Kristi Thibaut campaign announced today that, as of June 30th, it had raised over $130,000 in the race for Texas State House of Representatives, District 133.

“Kristi Thibaut is taking her ideas about preventing crime, strengthening our schools, and demanding ethical government in Austin into the neighborhoods, and the residents are responding,” said campaign manager Keir Murray. “The people of District 133 want and deserve real, independent representation at the State Capitol, and that’s exactly what Kristi will give them”, he said.

Kristi Thibaut will report $130,595 raised during the period ending June 30, 2006, and $100,148 cash on hand. Thibaut’s official report will be released to the Texas Ethics Commission on July 17th.

“I am incredibly grateful for, and frankly humbled at the outpouring of support for my campaign,” Thibaut said. “As I travel across District 133, our message of opportunity and responsibility is resonating in every neighborhood.”

Kristi Thibaut is running for State Representative District 133, an open seat being vacated by Joe Nixon in west/southwest Houston. Kristi is a native of Bay City, TX and is a graduate of the University of Texas-Austin. She has extensive experience in the non-profit, public and private sectors. Kristi and her husband Mark, an oil and gas professional, live with their dog Emmett in Briargrove Park.

Geez. It would be great to have her in Austin!

Thanks.

Good for her. Hope to see a new representative in District 133. The best of luck to her! (and of course her webmaster)
