GALLATIN, TN—State Senator Diane Black announced today that her campaign for congress has $444,000 cash on hand with over $424,000 available to use in the primary."I am honored to have been met with such strong support as I campaign across the sixth district. People are fired up and ready to fight back against government's intrusion into our personal lives," said Black.
"The campaign is off to a great start. People know that Diane will not sit in the back row and do what she is told, but on her first day will fight for Middle Tennessee in Washington the same way she fights in Nashville. Our campaign has been frugal and used our donor's money wisely, which is why we lead our opponents in cash on hand. Additionally, we have over $424K available to spend in the primary compared to our opponents, Lou Ann Zelenik ($345K) and Jim Tracy ($334K)," said campaign manager Annie Palisi.
