Immediately after the Governor’s debate on Saturday Republican candidate for Governor Ed Gillespie received $2 million from the Republican Governors Association, in addition to the million dollars they’ve already given the campaign. They were impressed with Gillespie’s performance at the debate. From the Washington Post:
The RGA called its $2 million donation to Gillespie a “response to the impressive leadership he demonstrated in the debate.”
“Virginia is a top pickup opportunity for Republicans and the RGA is proud to partner with Gillespie’s campaign as an early investor,” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, chairman of the RGA, said in a written statement. “With this additional major investment, the RGA is proving once again that we are all-in to ensure Ed has the resources to win in November.”
With the influx of money Gillespie is releasing several statewide ads:
On the American Dream
On Odd Jobs
