Glastonbury, CT (August 9, 2017) — Prasad
Srinivasan, declared candidate for Governor in 2018, announced that he
has reached the $250,000 threshold for qualifying under the State’s
Citizen Election Program (CEP).
“This is a
big step, but it is just the first step,” Dr. Srinivasan said. “All of
the credit goes to our many supporters across the State, who have
carried us over the finish line. Since beginning this journey last year,
we have received contributions from residents of 125 towns and cities
in Connecticut, and met many eager voters who are interested in my
message.”
Dr. Srinivasan, who declared that he
was running for Governor on December 16, 2016, reported a total of
$136,778 in qualifying contributions at the close of the first quarter
of 2017. By the close of the second quarter, Dr. Srinivasan reported a
total of $205,103 in qualifying contributions, and $178,854 in
cash-on-hand.
As of August 8, 2017, Dr.
Srinivasan has now received a total of $250,166 from approximately 2,900
contributors. Dr. Srinivasan will apply for a CEP grant of
approximately $1.4 million for use during the period through the
Republican primary next summer. Should he earn the Republican
nomination, Dr. Srinivasan would automatically qualify to receive
another $6.5 million for use in the November 2018 general election.
“With
fundraising out of the way,” Dr. Srinivasan said, “we will make our
case to the people of Connecticut that I am the best candidate to revive
our State and make it prosper again."
