HUBBARD'S REPORT SHOWS STRONG SUPPORT IN COMMUNITY
Hubbard Surpasses 300 Individual Contributions in General Election Cycle
MONTGOMERY - According to the 45-day election filing report, Joe Hubbard, the Democratic nominee for Alabama House District 73, has received over 300 individual contributions in the 2010 election cycle. Hubbard said surpassing 300 individual contributions was a milestone for the campaign.
"I am humbled by this community's support," Hubbard said. "The overwhelming number of contributions have come from people who've known me and my family a long time. It seems clear that the people of my hometown want a representative from the community who has their best interests at heart, not the interest of political insiders."
Hubbard's opponent, incumbent David Grimes, on the other hand, has only received 14 individual contributions since the start of his campaign in 2009. Unlike Hubbard, the majority of Grimes' campaign contributions come from PACs and special interest groups, with the overwhelming majority of his funding coming from a single special interest group.
Hubbard was born and raised in the district and is proud to be the seventh generation of his family to call Montgomery home. He practices law with the firm of Webb & Eley, and is an active member of the Montgomery Kiwanis Club. Hubbard serves on the Vestry at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, where he attends with his wife Ashley and his son Hill. Hubbard has served as a legislative analyst in the Alabama House of Representatives, but this is his first run for public office.
