SALT LAKE CITY, UT – Today, former Congressman and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams announced that he’s raised over $953,000 in the fourth quarter fundraising cycle despite only launching his campaign in mid-November. McAdams enters the election year in the strongest position for Utah’s newly redistricted 1st Congressional District.
This impressive early fundraising includes 71% of all donations coming from Utah donors and donations being received from 26 of 29 Utah counties.
“I’m grateful for the overwhelming support of everyday Utahns who want leaders who will stand up for what’s right and deliver real results. Over the last two months, I’ve talked to countless Utahns who are struggling with health care costs, rising grocery prices, and the high cost of housing. Utahns know where I stand—I’ve always been willing to do what’s right, even when it’s hard and even when it comes with a political cost. This early support reflects a hunger for leadership that will stand up to President Trump and Republican overreach and abuses of power, and elect leaders who will roll up their sleeves and build coalitions to lower costs, protect freedoms, and deliver real results for Utah families,” said Ben McAdams
