ROB CORNILLES RAISES OVER $230,000 IN LAST SIX MONTHS


PORTLAND, Ore. – Rob Cornilles, Republican candidate for Oregon's First Congressional District, announced today his final fundraising totals for 2009. This is the second quarter of fundraising for the campaign against Representative David Wu.

Total Raised Q4: $105,679
Total Raised 2009: $230,949
Cash-on-hand: $186,656

Contributions from individuals Q4: $105,179 (99.5% of total)
Contributions from Oregon Q4: $97,740 (92.5% of total)

Contributions from individuals in 2009: $230,249 (99.6% of total)
Contributions from Oregon in 2009: $220,670 (95.5% of total)


“As the campaign moves forward I am grateful and thrilled by the continued support we're receiving,” said Cornilles. “Just like last quarter, contributions are coming primarily from individuals and mostly from Oregonians. Our financial success is predicated on the concern that Oregonians have for our current representation in the first congressional district and their excitement in sending a fresh face to Washington.”

By comparison, Wu raised only $83,128 from individuals during the fourth quarter of 2009. Overall, Wu raised just $206,391 from individuals in 2009.

“Two quarters in a row I have out raised the incumbent when it comes to the individual contributor. As a matter of fact, my campaign raised more from individuals in two quarters than Mr. Wu did in all of 2009.”

Oregon’s first Congressional district stretches from Portland to the Oregon Coast and encompasses all of Washington, Yamhill, Columbia and Clatsop counties, and part of Multnomah County.

Cornilles is a prominent advisor and trainer in the business industry, having founded Game Face, Inc in 1995. He and Allison, his wife of 23 years, volunteer in various community causes, including local schools, Boy Scouts of America, the Good Neighbor Center, and other organizations centered on developing stronger youth citizens and leaders. They are also active in the lives of their three sons.
