It’s Not About The Money, But, If It Were, He’s Good

State Senator Jim Tracy today sends a press release to inform us that he raised $86,370 from July 1 through July 28 giving him a cash-on-hand total of $325,236.89 as of July 29, 2008 — but it’s not about the money:

“But this campaign will not be won on dollars and cents, rather by votes of the people of Rutherford, Bedford, and Moore Counties,” Tracy said. “This campaign is going to be about moving our economy forward, providing the necessary tools and resources for our schools, and working for solutions to illegal immigration.”

More from the Tennessee Journal:

Democratic candidate Jean Ann Rogers of Murfreesboro raised $8,680 and ended with $95,032.

A large portion of the Tracy campaign take came from small donors, but $40,000 was given by the Senate Republican Caucus. As of June 30, the caucus had a balance of only $23,107. But it raised $17,000 from PACs and received a $10,000 gift from the campaign of Senate Republican Leader Mark Norris, who is unopposed. The gift to Tracy was the only one the caucus made.
