Glastonbury, CT (July 24, 2017) — Prasad
Srinivasan, declared candidate for Governor in 2018, announced that he
has received nearly $225,000 in qualifying contributions, and is nearly
ninety percent of the way to the State’s Citizen Election Program (CEP)
threshold.
“In the third quarter, we picked up
right where we left off in the second,” Dr. Srinivasan said. “After the
first few weeks of July, we are ever closer to our goal of reaching the
CEP limit this summer.”
At the close of the
second quarter, Dr. Srinivasan reported having received $205,103 in
qualifying contributions, a sum that led all announced gubernatorial
candidates, both Republicans and Democrats. Through the first three
weeks of July, Dr. Srinivasan has raised $19,713, totaling at $224,816,
or 89.9% of the sum that is needed required to qualify under the State’s
CEP program.
“The finish line is in sight,” Dr. Srinivasan said. “We want to be the first to reach it.”
Impressively,
Dr. Srinivasan has raised this sum conservatively, and without spending
much money on his own. At the close of the second quarter, Dr.
Srinivasan also reported having $178,854 in cash on hand, as his
campaign has spent less than one of every eight dollars that it has
received. Dr. Srinivasan’s cash-on-hand is nearly equal to the combined
cash-on-hand of the three leading Democratic hopefuls, Comptroller Kevin
Lembo ($78,583), former Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Mattei ($54,037)
and former State Commissioner of Consumer Protection Jonathan Harris
($46,925).
“We are leading the race through
fiscal responsibility and sweat equity,” Dr. Srinivasan said. “I will
bring the same level of energy, enthusiasm, efficiency and to the
campaign trail in 2018, and to the Governor’s mansion in 2019.”
Dr.
Srinivasan is a four-time State Representative from Glastonbury. A
practicing physician in Greater Hartford, Dr. Srinivasan has been
elected to office by overwhelming margins ranging from twelve to
thirty-five points. Dr. Srinivasan currently serves as a member of the
legislature’s Public Health, Judiciary, and Environmental Committees.
