GREAT AMERICA PAC DOUBLES FUNDRAISING IN JUNE, RAISING A TOTAL OF $5 MILLION TO DATE

THE PRO-TRUMP SUPER PAC HAULED IN OVER $2.5 MILLION IN PAST 30 DAYS 

Alexandria, VA – Today Great America PAC, the leading independent committee supporting Donald J. Trump for President, announced they doubled their total fundraising in the month of June and raised a total of $5 million dollars to date.  The group continues to gain momentum and is hosting fundraising events across the country, including successful events in Dallas and New York recently, with upcoming events in Connecticut, San Diego, and Orange County, CA. The committee also announced it has an additional $3 million in commitments and will host an event at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.  

“Our fundraising is really taking off and we are thrilled to have doubled our total funding in the past 30 days.  Major donors and stakeholders who understand how critical it is to elect Donald Trump in November are uniting behind our effort,” said Doug Lebda, co-chair of Great America PAC and Founder and CEO of LendingTree.  “I joined Great America PAC because they were ahead of everyone and already doing great work, so it’s exciting to expand our success. No other independent group has done more pro-Trump activity or can even begin to match our campaign infrastructure. We know more success is on the way.” 

“Our fundraising momentum is unmatched, and we are also achieving success with voter contact programs, which has been a goal from the beginning,” said Eric Beach, co-chair of the committee. “We are very proud that our recent TV spot, ‘The Enemy,’ is the single highest scoring presidential ad of 2016 and rated the most impactful presidential ad to date by an independent national review.  Our great work is just getting started and we will be a key force in helping to elect Donald Trump in November.”

The committee was founded by Eric Beach and Bill Doddridge.  Veteran Republican operative Ed Rollins serves as lead strategist and Stanley Hubbard and Doug Lebda have joined as co-chairs.
