Looking 'Forward Together'
December 07, 2005
During Virginia's statewide elections, which I worked on over the past year, Gov. Mark Warner kept his eye on Nov. 8, 2005 and helped deliver victory for Tim Kaine. Now, Warner's looking ahead.
Warner's new political-action committee, called Forward Together, collected more than $2.5 million during its first fundraiser, setting a record for Virginia politics.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jerry W. Kilgore set the modern standard when he brought in nearly $2.1 million at a Northern Virginia fundraiser featuring President Bush last summer.
"I have never seen this kind of enthusiasm for a potential presidential candidate," said former Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr., the committee's treasurer. "This is the kind of intensity we saw only after John Kerry got the nomination in 2004."
