CANTON -- Democratic congressional candidate Tedra Cobb has raised nearly $129,000 in the last three months in her campaign for Congress.

Cobb has released her campaign fundraising figures for the July-to-September quarter, and details of her campaign structure.

Cobb, a local business owner, former St. Lawrence County legislator, and a candidate hoping to unseat New York’s 21st Congressional District Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro), entered the race three months ago, on July 4.

As of Sept. 30, Tedra Cobb for Congress has amassed $128,899.09 in cash donations, and has $111,366.30 cash on hand, a “burn rate” of only 13.25 percent, according to a press release from her campaign.

Over 700 individual donors, 84 percent from the district, have contributed to her campaign, at an average of $180, the press statement said. $2,700 is the maximum donation allowed per person.

Cobb said over 200 volunteers from throughout the district are helping her effort. She reports more than 1,000 likes and followers on Facebook

She said her campaign has launched a new web site at www.tedracobb.com, and continues its Facebook outreach.

“I owe so many people in Northern New York a big thank you for the early support they have shown,” Cobb said.

“Elise Stefanik has made too many mistakes too soon in her career and we literally do not have the luxury to wait for her to get it. Elise Stefanik has voted to close rural hospitals, clinics and nursing homes; she has voted to remove protections for our rivers and streams and has done nothing to advance solutions to the challenges facing North Country families in small business and agriculture,” Cobb said in a statement emailed to the press.

“I am running for Congress to hold her accountable for her votes which harm the people of this district. I am running to protect our way of life and to work with others to develop workable solutions to the problems we face daily,” Cobb said.

The staff of Cobb for Congress includes:

• polling and strategy by Jeff Plaut at Global Strategy Group

• electronic media by J. Toscano and Sarah Flowers at 76 Words

• direct mail by Mike Luce and Allison Osborne at Dover Strategy

• digital design and strategy by Chong+Koster, Mark Shipley and Avery Jaffe

• bookkeeping and compliance by Holly Giarraputo from Campaign Compliance

• and strategist Erick Mullen.

Cobb is not the only candidate hoping to replace Stefanik in Washington in next year’s election.

The field of those hoping to unseat Stefanik ballooned in June and July after Stefanik, a second-term congresswoman, voted in favor of a House bill aimed at repealing the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and remaking health care insurance in the U.S. That bill was deeply unpopular, so much so that many of the announced candidates saw a weakness in Stefanik’s standing and said health care would be a pillar of their campaigns.

Other Democrats running include Patrick Nelson of Stillwater, Emily Martz of Saranac Lake, Katie Wilson of Keene, Ronald Kim of Queensbury, and Donald Boyajian of Cambridge, Russ Finley, a Republican from Lisbon, has also joined the field.

The Democratic Party opponent to Stefanik will be determined in a primary in June 2018.
