“I am simply humbled and astounded at the incredible support I’ve
received from Oregonians these last three months,” Cornilles said.
“Almost all of my contributions are from individuals, not from
special interests and political action committees like my
opponent. As a new challenger, these numbers show just how
concerned people are with my opponent’s record against jobs and
the economy and how ready they are for the new leadership I can
bring.”
By comparison, Wu raised only $60,425 during the second quarter
reported last July, and only $23,675 (39%) was from individuals.
After interest income of $25,698, Wu spent $74,366 that quarter
and had $317,636 cash on hand.
“I am very enthusiastic that in one quarter alone, I’ve raised a
third of Wu’s cash-on-hand,” Cornilles said.
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 trainer and advisor 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 Boy Scouts of America, local schools, 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. |
