Assembly Candidate Boomhower Announces Strong Financial Report

CATSKILL - Thomas Boomhower announced today that his campaign has generated over $65,000 in total contributions less than two weeks after announcing his candidacy for New York’s 102nd Assembly District. This figure includes funds received through January 11th, the cut off date for included financial disclosure data for the January Periodic Report for campaigns, and incorporates internal projections for anticipated public matching funds. 

This early fundraising surge reflects strong grassroots enthusiasm, and positions the campaign as a serious and competitive force in the race for the 102nd Assembly District. 

“Reaching this milestone so quickly sends a clear message,” said Boomhower. “People are eager to have leadership that puts our local communities first, and they’re ready to send someone to Albany to champion their values and truly address their concerns.” 

The $65,000 figure includes direct contributions received from supporters, as well as estimated matching funds that the campaign anticipates to qualify for under the applicable State public financing program. While final matching amounts will be determined through the official certification process, campaign officials expressed confidence that the estimates accurately reflect the campaign’s current standing.

“Our internal numbers show overwhelming early support,” said Campaign Treasurer Michael Barbato. “This level of fundraising – so early on – is a powerful indicator of both the enthusiasm and viability of this campaign.”

With momentum building early on, the campaign plans to continue expanding its grassroots donor base, engaging voters across the 102nd Assembly District, and sharing Boomhower’s vision to deliver real results for our municipalities, farmers, businesses, and families across the district. 

“This is a clear sign that our neighbors across the 102nd District are eager to have a true champion in the Assembly,” said Campaign Manager Christopher Hanse. “Thomas has a clear vision and a comprehensive plan to tackle the biggest issues facing each and every one of us. From healthcare to housing, childcare, infrastructure and more, this campaign is prepared to face the challenges on day one coming out of Washington, Albany, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and beyond,” Hanse continued.

Boomhower is deeply grateful for all of the support that has already poured in across the district, and is prepared to continue his efforts to meet with as many of his neighbors across the 102nd District as he can.

“I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has shown their support so early on,” Boomhower said. “My commitment to public service is steadfast and with this support from friends and neighbors, combined with the public matching funds, I look forward to continuing to spread our message to New Yorkers across the district. Together we’re standing up to corporate PACs and special interests and showing that it’s the people who have the power,” Boomhower concluded.
