Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s (R-MN) Freedom First PAC announced over the weekend that they raised $566,000 in the first quarter of 2010, and that the potential presidential candidate’s committee has over $911,000 in cash on hand.
This amount was less than half of what Pawlenty raised in the previous quarter, when Pawlenty officially launched the PAC. As such, the press release led the announcement by saying that the PAC “raised over $1.84 million in its first six months.”
Phil Musser, senior advisor for the Freedom First PAC, said in the press release: “Between his work for the RGA, the PAC, and the many events for state parties, Tim Pawlenty is moving the needle in terms of helping Republicans prepare to win this fall.”
