BARONI HITS 800 MARK

Hamilton –  State Senate Candidate Bill Baroni today announced that he has reached the maximum number of qualifying contributions under the “Fair & Clean Elections” pilot project.

Baroni announced just two weeks ago that he had collected the minimum qualifying number of 400 ten-dollar contributions.

Under the provisions of the “Fair & Clean Elections Act of 2007,” once a majority of the 18 eligible candidates in New Jersey qualify for funding, the program will be authorized for statewide implementation in 2009.

“Today we proved that ‘Clean Elections’ works in New Jersey,” said Baroni. “Not only did we achieve the maximum number of contributions, but we did so under budget and months before the deadline.”

Baroni garnered the contributions through a whirlwind seven-week tour titled “Fair and Clean in District 14,” which included dozens of house parties in all seven townships within his district.

“Running a ‘Clean’ campaign is liberating,” said Baroni. “Not only was my team able to meet with countless voters in all seven towns in our district through our ‘Clean Election’ campaign, but now we can continue holding meet-and-greets and walking door to door to continue talking with voters about the issues that matter most to  New Jersey families.”

“This  program is the most important change for politics in New Jersey,” said Baroni. “The ‘Clean Elections’ experiment has put the voters of the 14th District first an opportunity to take a stand against the ‘Culture of Corruption,’ and now it is important to continue that fight and use our team’s success to help turn this into a reality all over New Jersey.”

Baroni is the first candidate in New Jersey to achieve the maximum of 800 “Clean Elections” qualifying contributions.
