NM Senate Candidate, Greg Sowards Has $636,000 to Move Forward

/EINPresswire.com/ Las Cruces, NM -- February 1, 2012 -- Conservative Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Greg Sowards announced today that his campaign will show over $636,000 in cash on hand after the fourth quarter transition:

"We have turned a major corner at the Sowards for Senate camp. I have brought on a new Campaign Manager and a new Grassroots Coordinator. My message of restoration is resonating with the people of New Mexico and America. We are now well-positioned to mount an impressive fund raising drive."

Help is arriving to the Sowards for Senate campaign from all over America. Conservative activists from Georgia, Iowa, Arizona, California, Illinois and Delaware are coalescing around Greg Sowards.

"After conducting a listening tour around New Mexico these last three months, what has become obvious is that the conservatives of this state are not satisfied with Heather Wilson's voting record or ties to establishment politicians like Olympia Snowe and John McCain," Sowards said.

"Heather was unelectable in 2008. Nothing has changed on that score. She is a flawed candidate. Her vote for the TARP bailout has doomed her chances for victory in November. Voters in the primary are starting to realize that and want a candidate without the baggage Wilson has. I am the only Republican in the field that can energize the conservative base along with the Independents to defeat Martin Heinrich in November," Sowards concluded.

When asked about John Sanchez, Sowards remarked "I look forward to working with John in the future. Since I intend to press for legislation that returns power in arenas like education and health care to the states, Governor Martinez and Lieutenant Governor Sanchez will soon have new tools to use in restoring New Mexico's spirit."

As the non-career politician in the race, Greg Sowards is awakening Independents, Conservative Democrats and Republicans alike. www.senate2012.com
