State Senator Blake Miguez says his campaign has more than $2.5 million in cash on hand. His campaign released that figure as a preview of the campaign finance report that, along with everyone else’s, is due to the Federal Elections Commission tomorrow. Miguez says his contributions are coming from real people.
“We have nearly 6,000 individual contributors, and we have contributions from all 64 parishes across this great state,” Miguez said.
Miguez’s cash on hand, however, pales in comparison to the $9 million in cash Senator Bill Cassidy reported last quarter. Miguez says he’s not concerned by how much money Cassidy has – he believes voters are tuning Cassidy out because of his vote to convict then-former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial in 2021.
“Senator Cassidy’s numbers and his war chest is like having a lot of gold and a first-class ticket on a Titanic, and they’re on their way to the bottom of the ocean,” Miguez said.
Miguez says his campaign is building momentum, and he believes whoever advances to the runoff against Cassidy will ultimately be the next U.S. Senator from Louisiana.
“We’re not going to take our foot off the gas in this campaign, and I will find the resources to defeat Senator Cassidy this spring,” Miguez said.
