Republican
candidate enjoying huge momentum of groundswell
support from Nevada and national conservative
movements
Reno, NV –
Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, an anti-tax
Legislator running for Congress, filed her
campaign’s fourth fundraising report with the
Federal Election Commission. Angle had her best
fundraising quarter to date, raising $162,302.31
during the period from January 1 through March
31, and outpacing both of her Republican primary
opponents. Angle has raised $526,185.92 thus far
in the campaign, and has retained most of the
contributions in the bank, showing $449,451.64
on hand.
Although Angle did not begin
fundraising until June of 2005 after the end of
the Legislative session, she has already
received contributions from nearly 3,700
supporters. Her average donation is $143.00.
Recognized nationwide as a
strong fiscal conservative, Angle’s campaign is
being enthusiastically supported by
conservatives craving lower taxes and less
government at the federal level. Angle, who is
currently finishing her fourth term in the
Nevada state legislature, is known for her tough
conservative stands against tax and fee
increases of all kinds. Mrs. Angle led the fight
against the 2003 state tax increase, and has
been an outspoken defender of the state’s
constitutional two-thirds majority vote
requirement for tax increases.
