My Dad is
Jack Carter, who's running for US Senate in Nevada. You may have seen my
fundraising appeal yesterday, which was very successful! It's hard to tell exactly how much money came in through yesterday's diary, but we estimate that the final tally was about
$5,000. Thank you all so much for the contributions! We're well on our way to reaching our $50,000 goal by June 30, the end of the FEC fundraising quarter.
My Dad called me this morning from the airport in Raleigh, NC (they're on their way to San Diego). He was really impressed with the money that came in yesterday and overnight - especially all the small contributions!
What I want to tell you about now is my Dad's crazy fundraising tour. While I was here nice and cosy at my laptop asking you all for money, my Dad has been traveling around the country on a hectic schedule. He has fundraiser after fundraiser, and the finance guys haven't even been able to tally up how we're doing. Here's his schedule:
June 20: Miami, FL
June 21: Ft. Lauderdale
June 22: Raleigh with Fmr Gov. Jim Hunt and Ambassador Jeanette Hyde.
June 23: San Diego with his Dad, Jimmy Carter
June 24: Houston, TX with Jimmy Carter
June 24: Austin, TX with Jimmy Carter, former Governors Mark White and Dolph Biscoe, Luci Turpin (Lyndon Johnson's daughter), and Dr. Andrew Kant.
Hopefully, these events will be a big boost to our end-of-the quarter numbers. We'll let you know how it all goes. And I'll keep you updated on our
"Bet on Jack" online efforts! If you haven't given already, now's the time!
Thanks for reading!
