Team Morgan Ortagus reports they now have over $550,000 cash on hand.
“Our team is building momentum every day, as Middle Tennesseans make it clear they want their next Congressman to fight for our conservative values and President Trump’s America First agenda,” said Morgan Ortagus. “I’ve never run for public office before, and I’m truly humbled by the outpouring of support we’ve received in the first two months of our campaign. Together, we’re going to take back the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and fire Nancy Pelosi once and for all.”
Candidate Kurt Winstead has announced he has raised more than $520K . Winstead said in a release that he will report more than $1 million cash on hand, meaning he has matched his outside donations with personal funds.
Former Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives Beth Harwell has announced she has raised nearly $350,000 in funding.
According to data from the Federal Election Commission, which currently shows campaign contributions from April 2021 through December 2021, Robby Starbuck’s campaign has raised over $255,000 and candidate Natisha Brooks has raised over $24,000.
Campaign funding data is not yet available for Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles, Geni Batchelor, Tres Wittum, Baxter Lee, Stewart Parks or Timothy Lee.
