For Immediate Release Mayoral Candidate Teresa Jacobs Posts one of the Strongest Single Fundraising Quarters of All Candidates, breaking $100,000In just over eight weeks, the newest candidate to announce for Mayor of Orange County, Teresa Jacobs, raised just under $110,000. That's the strongest single quarter showing of all but one of the candidates, and it's especially impressive because Teresa Jacobs is no longer serving on the County Commission. "I'm very encouraged by what we raised in just over eight weeks," said Jacobs. "But what is more heartening than the amount of contributions is the source of those contributions. Many of my contributors have never financially supported a campaign before. They are former constituents and average citizens. That's what my campaign is about. It's about giving people a real voice and a role in shaping the future of our community. It's about changing the culture of county government to make citizens the priority, not special interest groups, not politicians! It's about making government open and accountable to the taxpayers, not just the insiders." Over 40% of Teresa's contributions were made over the internet, which may be attributed to the fact that Jacobs announced her candidacy online. Over half of her contributions are amounts under $100. "While contributions are an indicator of a candidate's support, they are not the deciding factor; issues are. That's why I am again offering a challenge to all my opponents to a series of in-depth debates," said Jacobs. ### Read more in the Orlando Sentinel: Orange mayor hopeful Jacobs raises nearly $110K in first 8 weeks |

Listen to what people are saying about Teresa
“I have watched 29 commissioners and three county mayors come and go. Without hesitation, I say that, all things considered, nobody was better than you. You kept your intellectual honesty at all times – never going along to get along. Finally, you had, throughout your eight years, the heart of a servant – the citizens always came first.”“I can’t thank you enough for your sacrifice of that which you cherish the most - your life with your family. You have not only made a magnificent difference in Orange County, but also in my life, because I am a better person for getting to know you and watching you be a community leader we can believe in.”“You demonstrated that an elected official can conduct herself with character in spite of pressures to “get along by going along.” We’re very proud to call you friend because you’re a friend who knows how to be a friend.”
