Building on strong fundraising momentum over the past several months, Nathan Fletcher’s mayoral campaign raised nearly $125,000 at last night’s event at Sway. Hundreds of supporters, many first-time donors and newcomers to local campaigns, gathered in downtown San Diego to hear Fletcher’s vision for San Diego’s future.
“I am incredibly humbled and honored to receive support from so many San Diegans,” Fletcher said. “I’ve never seen so much enthusiasm and so many new people getting involved in a local campaign,” he said.
As of December 31, Fletcher led all candidates in total dollars raised without personal contributions for the June 5 primary election.
“To my knowledge, this is the single largest mayoral campaign fundraising event in recent San Diego history,” said Tom Shepard, Fletcher for Mayor Chief Strategist. “Raising $125,000 in a single night with $500 contribution limits is extremely impressive. The fact that so many political newcomers are getting involved – Democrats, Republicans and independents – shows that something special is going on here. Momentum is definitely building for Nathan’s candidacy.”
