Razzoli raises $43 in three months for congressional bid

Mark Razzoli, an Old Bridge councilman who switched parties last year to seek the Republican nomination for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th district, raised just $43 during the 4th quarter of last year.

He has raised a total of $2,119 for his bid to unseat Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing).

Razzoli has $1,018 cash-on-hand, and has already accumulated a campaign debt of $5,031.

This is Razzoli’s second campaign in as many years.  He sought the Democratic mayoral nomination in Old Bridge last year, but David Merwin defeated him by a 2-1 margin.

Watson Coleman raised $61,360 during the 4th quarter of 2019 and now has $147,204 cash-on-hand.  She raised $282,967 in 2019 and is carrying a $7,550 debt.

Hillary Clinton carried the 12th by a 65%-32% margin in 2016.  The district has 138,221 more Democrats than Republicans.
