St. Cloud, MN – With a strong second quarter fundraising report, momentum for Sixth Congressional District candidate Jim Graves continues to build.  Graves reported over $400K in the second quarter FEC filing report with nearly 1,000 new contributors in June alone.   Coupled with the recently released polling, this puts Graves in a strong position in his race against Rep. Michele Bachmann.

“What is clear is that momentum is building around the Jim Graves campaign,” said Graves’ spokesperson Donald McFarland.  “With strong fundraising and polling that indicates that the race is very close, this is now one of the Congressional races to watch this year.”
