From a press release

MEMPHIS - As of June 30, the Bill Gibbons for Governor campaign has raised more than $415,000.

“We are thankful for the support received so far, which has come primarily from citizens in West Tennessee who know Bill and his record the best. Their support provides an initial foundation that we will continue to build upon, and that will enable us to implement a plan we believe will win this race,” said campaign manager Josh Thomas.

“This race is about getting the most votes, not dollars. Bill began this campaign with the largest base of GOP support, in West Tennessee, and we have added to it by building very strong grassroots support. We are continuing to work a campaign plan that does not demand we are the best funded candidate, but simply the best candidate. Bill’s message for more and better jobs, better schools and safer communities is resonating with voters.

“We are very encouraged about the months ahead, and the fact that once Tennesseans get to know Bill they will see that he is the best candidate to be our next governor.”

The Gibbons campaign has numerous fundraising events scheduled in the coming months, Thomas said.

Bill Gibbons is the Shelby County District Attorney General, serving as the top law enforcement officer in the state’s largest jurisdiction.
