Brasstown, NC --- Hayden Rogers, Democratic candidate for Congress in North Carolina’s 11th District, announced today that his campaign raised over $175,000 in the Second Quarter of 2012. The Rogers campaign ended the quarter with over $192,000 cash on-hand.

“I am overwhelmed and incredibly thankful for the support that our campaign has continued to receive from so many people across the 11th District,” Rogers said. “For the second quarter in a row, hundreds of voters in Western North Carolina have thrown their support behind our message and added their name to our grassroots campaign. It’s a testament to the strength of our campaign and shows we have the support and trust of the people of Western North Carolina to win in November.”
