NASHVILLE – Republican gubernatorial hopeful Zach Wamp today announced his campaign has raised more than $4 million in contributions through the end of the second quarter on June 30.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chattanooga congressman had raised nearly $3.2 million.
“I am deeply grateful for the strong financial support I have received from every corner of our state,” Rep. Wamp, R-Tenn., said in a news release. “We still have more to raise, but thanks to the generous support from so many, we are now ready to win this race and move our state forward.”
The campaign did not state how much money it has on hand as the campaigns gear up for early voting, which begins July 16.
Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bill Haslam said last week he raised more than $1.7 million from April through June with an estimated $700,000 of it coming in a final fundraising “blitz” during the final two weeks of June.
