The Democrat candidate for a key Maricopa County contest is highlighting his out-of-state fundraising prowess.
Last week, Tim Stringham, the Democrat candidate for Maricopa County Recorder, posted a fundraising boast to his X account. Stringham said, “I am proud to share that, in the third quarter, we received contributions from over 3,900 individual contributors from 49 states, including Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Thousands of people nationwide are standing with us to protect the elections right here in Maricopa County.”
Stringham added, “But with only 30 days until Election Day and three days until ballots drop, we’re in the final sprint. Join this national effort to protect elections here in Maricopa County by donating today.”
The post was met with criticism from many who pointed out that Stringham was not showcasing support from local voters and donors.
Republican State Representative Alexander Kolodin replied, “Tim Stringham wants to be MARICOPA County recorder yet is ‘proud’ that his campaign is fueled by out of state money?”
In a September poll from Noble Predictive Insights, Stringham led his Republican opponent, Justin Heap, by four percent (38-34%), with twenty-two percent undecided. Stringham enjoyed a fifteen percent lead over Heap with independents, with thirty-five percent of that voting share undecided.
