Alexandria—David Englin, the Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates in the 45th district, announced today the success of his campaign’s fundraising during the 2005 election cycle. Englin raised a total of $123,921 through the end of the most recent reporting period, including $17,990 in contributions during the latest period, July 1 through Aug. 31.
“While I’m certainly happy that we continue to out-raise my Republican opponent, this election isn’t about the race for money, it’s about who has the ideas, the energy, and the vision to carry on Marian Van Landingham’s legacy of progressive leadership,” said Englin. “My grassroots volunteers and I have continued making thousands of phone calls and knocking on thousands of doors to reach out to voters throughout the 45th district, and our financial advantage will only strengthen those efforts.”
Despite the 45th district’s strong Democratic performance, Englin is taking nothing for granted, and he continues to knock on doors and raise money to fight for every single vote in the Nov.-8 election.
“We’ve already raised several thousand dollars since the end of August. Our recent event at Murphy’s Pub in Old Town, which was hosted by Delegate Marian Van Landingham, House Democratic Caucus Chair Delegate Brian Moran, and other prominent local leaders, was very successful, and we have several other fundraisers already scheduled for the coming weeks,” said Englin.
“I’m so proud of my fellow Democrats for the way we’ve all come together since the primary, and I look forward to working with Democrats, Independents, and moderate Republicans to fight for sensible, progressive legislation in Richmond,” said Englin.
