PENN YAN—This morning the Mitrano campaign is proud to report continued fundraising momentum with the election just one month away, raising nearly $600,000 in the most recent filing period (July 1, 2020-Sept. 30, 2020).
Reports that will be filed with the FEC later this month will detail contributions to Tracy Mitrano for Congress and the Mitrano Victory Fund totaling nearly $600,000, more than doubling the campaign’s total from the previous quarter ($266,000).
Campaign cycle to date, the Mitrano campaign has raised over $1.38 million, a 33 percent increase from this time in the 2018 cycle. This has allowed our campaign to go up on the airwaves three weeks earlier than in 2018. Last month, the Mitrano campaign debuted its first TV spot, “Hard Work.”
“Our message is gaining traction and it’s clear that people want a change in this district. I’m so thankful to all of our supporters who chipped in what they could. We know that we’ll be outspent by my opponent,” Mitrano said, “but no amount of his corporate money can fix the broken promises Tom Reed has made to voters across this district.”
Tracy has held firm on her promise to run a grassroots-powered campaign, accepting not a penny from corporate PACs. As of the most recent public filing, Tom Reed has taken over $1 million from corporate PACs and special interest groups in this election cycle alone.
In August, the non-partisan Inside Elections labeled NY-23 as a “Race to Watch.” Internal polling released from the Mitrano campaign shows Trump with a 1-point advantage over Biden in the district. Trump easily won the district by 15 points in 2016.
