“I am pleased to report the growing success we continue to experience in attracting financial support from citizens throughout the district,” said Roraback. “The fact that I earned the endorsement of the Republican Party at the May convention has given donors additional confidence that I am the candidate best qualified to represent the Republican Party and win in November. While it is a necessity to raise funds for this race, money alone does not carry a candidate to victory. Our campaign’s foundation is based upon faithfulness to Republican principles, integrity, and a proven record of public service. It is my ambition to earn the confidence of all voters in the 5^th district that I will represent their interests in Congress with a commitment to solving the serious problems facing our country.”
