Gary Black announces first-quarter fundraising numbers

Jul. 15—COMMERCE — Georgia Agriculture Commissioner and U.S. Senate Candidate Gary Black's campaign has released its first-quarter fundraising numbers. With only three weeks and no fundraising events, Black raised more than $703,000 from more than 670 donors. All but 50 contributors were from Georgia.

"I feel like the home-grown candidate, the harvest has been bountiful, and we have a lot to be thankful for," Black said in a news release. "Making a contribution is more than just an investment of money — it's loaning a candidate your reputation, and I will always remember the trust that represents."
