Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson Taps TMKG for U.S. Senate Campaign

    WASHINGTON, DC, October 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Macsata-Kornegay Group, Inc. (TMKG) today announced that it has been retained by former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson to manage his PAC, DC and National fundraising efforts for his U.S. Senate campaign. In that capacity, Amanda Kornegay will serve as Fundraising Consultant for the Thompson's national fundraising efforts.

"We're pleased to represent Governor Thompson as he seeks to bring his proven results-driven leadership to the United States Senate," said Amanda Kornegay, TMKG's Partner. "With Wisconsin being among a handful of pivotal races determining control of the Senate's balance of power next year, our successful fundraising strategies will help to ensure that the 'Tommy Thompson for Senate' campaign can best engage voters."

Tommy Thompson's innovative welfare and school choice reforms became models for the nation and were landmark victories for conservatives across the country. He's committed to getting America working again through balancing the budget, repealing Obamacare, opposing new tax hikes and reducing the burdensome regulations that are standing in the way of job growth. As governor, Thompson led a conservative revolution that included historic tax and spending cuts, and the creation of 740,000 new jobs.

"Amanda Kornegay and her firm have an established history of setting fundraising records, including Senator Burr's 2004 campaign that bankrolled over $13 million and most recently in Nevada raising Sharron Angle over $27.7 million," said Darrin Schmitz, General Consultant. "These are the types of fundraising numbers that will help to propel the Governor to be the next U.S. Senator from the Badger state."
