ALBANY — The Sanford Bishop for Congress campaign announced that the Congressman has raised more than $440,000 in the first quarter of 2022.
The strong quarter brings Bishop’s total fundraising haul for the cycle to more than $1.1 million with more than $700,000 in the bank as he prepares for re-election, demonstrating the strength of his campaign and proving the enthusiasm for Bishop in Georgia’s 2nd Congressional District is at an all-time high.
“These fundraising numbers illustrate that voters across Georgia’s 2nd Congressional District want a proven leader who has a history of fighting for working families in Congress,” Bishop’s campaign manager, Robert West, said in a news release.
“Whether it’s supporting rural farmers and small business owners hardest hit by the pandemic, securing funds to kickstart and boost our local economy, or investing in infrastructure across the district, Sanford Bishop is the leader middle and southwest Georgia needs.
“Rep. Bishop will continue to fight for and serve his constituents by using the political process to improve their lives, and that’s why they’ll send him back to Congress this November.”
