Generosity Of Nearly 2000 Donors Allow Florida Democrats To Celebrate Best Third Quarter Ever

Estimated $2.5 Million Raised Is Almost Three Times Party's Average Third Quarter

Tallahassee, FL - With nearly 2,000 donors contributing to the Florida Democratic Party in the third quarter of 2009, Democrats today are celebrating their best third quarter ever raising nearly $2.5 million.

"Fueled by the grassroots army we are building, the Florida Democratic Party's momentum to bring change to Florida keeps growing," said Party Chair Karen Thurman. "Today, we are celebrating our successful fundraising quarter, where nearly 2,000 Floridians contributed to our party's efforts to elect Democrats across Florida, including hundreds of new donors who contributed at www.FlaDems.com."

In addition to the Florida Democratic Party's successful third quarter, the Alex Sink for Governor Campaign announced today that Floridians continue responding to CFO Sink's proven leadership by donating $1.6 million to her campaign.

With the Florida Democratic Party historically raising an average of $870,356 during comparable fundraising periods, the $2.5 million raised is nearly 3 times this average.

Because off year reporting requirements are different than that of election years, all comparable third quarters from the Florida Democratic Party are from non-election years.
