Press Release from the Committee to Elect Collin Sims
Interim District Attorney Collin Sims has taken a commanding lead in fund raising based on the latest campaign finance filings. Sims reported over $370,000 raised at the reporting deadline in the race for District Attorney. That is more than double his only opponent in the race. Since the reporting deadline, Sims has continued his fund raising efforts with over $400,000 raised to date.
“With the special election being held in March, early fund raising efforts are critical to the success of a campaign,” said Sims. “The support we’ve received from this community in such a short amount of time has been humbling. It’s great to start the year off with all this momentum, but we aren’t taking anything for granted. We will continue working hard through Election Day.”
In addition to his major lead in fund raising, Sims is also announcing critical members of his campaign team.
“I believe my level of commitment to this race is reflected in the team I have put together,” said Sims. “These are professionals in the top of their field who all have Louisiana roots. They have a genuine interest in this race and the future of our community.”
