Kirkland – In the toughest political climate since she announced her candidacy in June, former three-term State Representative Laura Ruderman has pulled in $103,255, her highest earnings of any quarter.

This brings her total amount raised to $362,114, the most of any candidate running in the first Congressional district.  Ruderman reported $220,025 cash-on-hand.

“I am very humbled by the outpouring of support for my campaign,” Ruderman said.  “This first quarter of 2012 was the most competitive fundraising environment we could have possibly faced with five other Democrats in this primary.  I am proud that my list of supporters has continued to grow, and that more and more people throughout the district are stepping up to say that I am their candidate.”   To view Ruderman’s growing list of endorsements, please visit: http://www.lauraruderman.org/endorsements/.
