Nashville, TN – Former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry today announced a fourth quarter fundraising haul of over $171k, raised in the first three weeks of her campaign for Tennessee’s Seventh Congressional District. Fundraising since the first of the year brings the total amount raised so far to over a quarter of a million dollars. 

​

“The support we’ve received from donors and voters all over the Seventh District has been overwhelming,” said Barry, “I am honored by the level of enthusiasm and energy we’ve seen so far, and we’re just getting started. Our fundraising total shows how ready Middle Tennesseans are for a new kind of leadership in Congress - leadership with a vision for an economy and a government that works for everyone.”

​

Some key statistics from the campaign’s Q4 fundraising, which began when the campaign launched on December 6th:

• The campaign received 833 donations from 779 individual donors, 80% of whom live in the state of Tennessee.

• 78% of donations were grassroots donations (under $200).

• 99% of donors have not donated the maximum amount and can donate to the campaign again.

​

As a mother, wife, businessperson, community leader, and former elected official, Megan Barry has spent her effort and energy making life better for the people around her. Now, she is running for Congress because she believes that Middle Tennesseans deserve better representation in Washington, D.C.
