Gomes’ Raises Another $100,000 in Second Consecutive Quarter

 

BRIDGEPORT, CT – Today, John Gomes announces that his campaign has raised another $100,000 in contributions to end the first fundraising quarter of 2023. For consecutive quarters, the John Gomes For Mayor campaign has demonstrated consistent fundraising. Over 450 supports packed two in-person fundraising events at the Vasco Da Gama Portuguese Center and Don Raphael Restaurant in March while over 150 business owners, sixty percent (60%) that were Bridgeport based, contributed to the campaign AD Book.

 

John Gomes stated, “We are grateful for the overwhelming support from local business owners, community members, friends, family, neighbors who seek a "hands on" leader who represents all of them. The Bridgeport community is ready for a change in leadership, and have shown that they are willing to invest in the movement with both money and time. Our weekly recurring small donations from Bridgeport residents continues to expand and has provided a consistent source to fund operations. A newly opened campaign headquarters located at 2196 East Main Street, billboards and metro-bins can be found throughout the city because of these small dollar recurring donations.”


The public has begun to recognize our growing movement for change in Bridgeport. From our public policy releases on good government and public safety, recent opinion-editorials in the CT Post, issues including the condition of the former Harding High School, city government backlog of freedom of information requests, and recent endorsements from fraternal organizations like the Bridgeport Police Hispanic Society and elected officials including City Council member Jorge Cruz, more Bridgeporters are joining our movement to elect a mayor for all people.


Gomes continued, "Our message for a united Bridgeport where every resident receives the same high level of service and respect is resonating within the city and beyond. We continue to gain credibility, strength and earn trust with each passing day."


Gomes echoed his concluding line from his March 9th speech, "It is time that we collectively move this city into history making mode. It can only be carried forward beginning with us. No more second chances. This is our movement! Thank you for your continued support."
