I know you are accustomed to reading Judge Fox’s posts and updates, but as this one relates to campaign finance, we’re posting it on behalf of the campaign. The response to Tim’s candidacy, statewide, has been substantial. The only formal events to date were the Campaign Kickoff and one other fundraiser in Little Rock. Even with only two formal events, the Campaign reported contributions and candidate loans totaling $176,000.00.

We are finalizing the details for fundraisers and meet and greet events in Fayetteville, Jonesboro, and Pine Bluff. We have also begun working on details for similar events in several other cities.

As good a beginning as it is, the Campaign has a long way to go to achieve the budgeted amount that will allow us to effectively get the message out statewide concerning Tim’s candidacy. Even though judicial campaigns are nonpartisan, the television and radio advertising costs are the same as in other types of races. You don’t need to wait for a campaign event to contribute, we have Paypal set up on this website under the “Contribute” button. On Tim’s behalf, if you’ve already made a contribution, we say thank you. If you’re thinking about it, we encourage you to contribute now, May 18th is fast approaching.
