(Lenoir City) April 16, 2018– The Matlock for Congress Campaign announced Monday that after a strong fundraising quarter, small businessman Jimmy Matlock has out-raised the entire field in Tennessee’s 2nd Congressional District.
By raising $130,000 this quarter, the Matlock Campaign surpassed the combined total of Mayor Tim Burchett ($84,000) and Jason Emert ($42,000).
“Our campaign’s fundraising efforts this quarter are further proof that our campaign has the support and the momentum needed to deliver our East Tennessee values to Washington,” said Matlock. “It is painfully clear that President Trump needs more allies in Washington to help him drain the swamp, and our campaign is going to have the resources we need to provide him more reinforcement.”
In addition to leading the field in fundraising, the Matlock Campaign has also reserved $150,000 of television time across the Second District in July with more to come.
