Rossi Campaign Announces 31,000th Donor

Supports Rossi Because He Stands for Working Families

Redmond, WA - Jolene Mulligan of Cusick recently became the 31,000th contributor to the Dino Rossi for Governor campaign.  Dino called Jolene to personally thank her for her support of this citizens' movement to change Washington.

Jolene and her husband moved from Spokane to Cusick, located in Pend Oreille County, about 10 years ago to give her 5 boys more room to run around.  She recently made a $20 donation to Dino's campaign to become the 31,000th donor.  Jolene told us that she would have given more, but unfortunately money is tight because her husband recently lost his job.  "It would have been a lot more if I could've done it," she said.  Like many others who have contributed to the campaign, she and her husband were upset when Dino didn't win in 2004 but are happy to see he's running again.  "I'm glad he didn't just go away."

Jolene says she wants a governor who will give people more say in state government.  When asked to explain further, she said that she wants a governor who will pay attention to eastern Washington, and someone who she can back morally.  "I believe he stands for the working class," said Jolene. 

At the end of the conversation when Jolene was thanked for her support, she in turn thanked the campaign for paying attention to the grass roots supporters.  Jolene is one of a growing number of those supporters who have helped the Dino Rossi for Governor campaign surpass the total number of contributors from the 2004 campaign.
