Lewis Cardinal Campaign – #1 in fundraising

EDMONTON – The Lewis Cardinal campaign raised over $20,000 during a two month fundraising push by local members.

A challenge from Canada’s NDP encouraged local campaigns to raise money in March and April 2010.  Cardinal’s campaign team in Edmonton Centre added $21,750 to its coffers.

“I’m thrilled with the good results from my team,” said Cardinal.  “It shows that we are going to be a serious force in the campaign.”

Cardinal said his campaign has about $40,000 raised so far, just under half the Edmonton Centre spending limit set by Elections Canada.

“We’re just getting started.  We will be building on this success and making sure we have the resources we need to win.”
