NETTLETON - The Brandon Presley for Mississippi campaign is announcing over $355,000 raised during the month of May, powered by growth in first-time contributions.
Presley for Mississippi’s fundraising haul was fueled by small-dollar donations, with 88.5 percent of contributions less than $200 and over 2,250 total donors. 1,343 contributions were from new donors to Presley for Mississippi, showing the campaign is continuing to grow in grassroots support. The campaign closed out the fundraising period with over $1.7 million cash on hand.
“Unlike Tate Reeves, Brandon Presley has never faced questions for taking money from central figures in the largest public corruption scandal in state history, lied about breaking his promise to return these tainted donations, and then melted down when asked simple questions about his campaign,” said Ron Owens, Brandon Presley for Mississippi Campaign Manager. “Mississippians deserve a governor who will return power to the people’s hands and they know Tate Reeves won’t do it. This grassroots support is a clear sign that Mississippians are ready for a leader like Brandon who will work for all Mississippians, not just the campaign donors who can write him large checks.”
For historical comparison, Brandon Presley for Mississippi raised significantly more than the previous Democratic nominee Jim Hood, who reported $210,000 in contributions for the same period in election year 2019.
