Eden Prairie, MN – Congressman Erik Paulsen (MN-03) raised $379,862 during the second quarter of 2010 to give his re-election campaign a total of $1,347,000 cash on hand.

"It is clear my message of fiscal discipline and job growth is certainly resonating with people in the 3rd District," said Paulsen. "I will continue to work hard every day to put a lid on excessive government spending and push for greater economic prosperity for all Minnesotans. I also want to thank my campaign volunteers, who are working very hard to promote our grassroots effort. Now, with this level of financial support, we can make sure our message is heard."

To date, Paulsen has raised $1.9 million during the 2010 election cycle.
