Des Moines, IA—Jim Gibbons, Republican candidate for Congress in Iowa’s Third Congressional District, announced on Tuesday that he will be traveling to Washington, D.C. for a fundraiser on Wednesday, February 24, 2010. The event will take place at the Capitol Hill Club from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This event will be hosted by Senator Chuck Grassley, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor, and Congressmen Jason Chaffetz, Dean Heller, Jim Jordan, Steve King, Tom Latham, Kevin McCarthy, and Peter Roskham.

Jim Gibbons commented on the fundraiser when he said, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to have this event with our Senator, Republican Whip Eric Cantor, and so many Members of Congress. To be successful in this race against Leonard Boswell, I will need to follow the example of men like these who know what it is like to win tough elections. This will be a great opportunity for me to stand next to these men who share my goal of winning in November.”

In the last reporting fundraising quarter, Leonard Boswell raised $169,000 to Gibbons $207,000. However, of that $169,000 that Boswell raised, 79% came from special interest, lobbyist, or Democrat PAC funds. Gibbons, on the other hand had more than 90% of his contributions come directly from individuals.
