HOUMA, La. (January 14, 2010)– Ravi Sangisetty, candidate for Congress in Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District, today announced that his campaign put together over $250,000 by the December 31, 2009 year‐end reporting deadline.

“When we began this campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives, we knew that this was going to be a hard fought campaign from both sides of the aisle,” Sangisetty said. “Our message of honest, independent leadership has resonated with the voters of this district who are fed up with the spending of the federal government and unproductive partisan politics. The voters know that the politics of the past aren’t going to create jobs for our communities. They know that political games and partisanship won’t reform the Army Corps of Engineers to get them off of our backs so we can save our vanishing coast and get real protection from hurricanes for all of our coastal communities. We’re running this campaign to put the needs of this district ahead of everything else, and fight as an independent voice for South Louisiana. People are excited for a new generation of leadership in coastal Louisiana and our fundraising successes so far are clearly showing this.”

As of December 31, 2009, Sangisetty for Congress has put together over $250,000. In the final quarter of 2009, the campaign received $117,806, with over $225,000 cash on hand at the close of the reporting period.
