Jeff Smith, 3rd CD candidate, has strong quarter

Continuing his string of positive surprises, Jeff Smith, candidate for 3rd Congressional District, will report over $90,000 raised in the latest quarter (January 1 – March 31). This fundraising filing will cement Smith’s place in the top half of the crowded ten-candidate field. The Arch City Chronicle is forecasting only two other candidates to show this level of fund-raising – Russ Carnahan and Steve Stoll. Smith is well-positioned to hit the $250,000 threshold necessary to run television commercials and conduct critical voter contact and turn-out efforts over the large geographic area of the district. Again, the only other candidates besides Carnahan and Stoll who can possibly reach that level are Mark Smith and Joan Barry, both of whom will need to show strong quarters to fulfill that potential.
