SD 10: Jaworski To Report More Than A Quarter Million In Run Against Jackson

Joe Jaworski (D-Galveston) will report raising a quarter million dollars for his run against State Sen. Mike Jackson (R-LaPorte), according to a press release from Jaworski’s campaign:
“I am deeply gratified by this widespread support,” Jaworski said. “But I’m frankly not surprised that so many want positive change instead of more of the same.”
The filing deadline is Monday for the latest fundraising period from January 1, 2007, to June 30, 2007. Jaworski will report a total of $214,495 raised from 348 individuals for the period. His campaign had $209,508.50 cash on hand at the deadline and has raised $37,000 in online contributions.
Jaworski is running for Senate District 11, which includes portions of Harris, Brazoria and Galveston Counties. He has raised more than $250,000 since entering the race last fall.
Last year, there were rumors that Jackson might be interested in the CD 22 post. While I’m not sure of his status in that regard now, whether Jackson stays or goes, Jaworski is certainly in a much better position than anyone to win this race.
