COLUMBUS--Today, Governor Ted Strickland's campaign announced that he has nearly $6.2 million cash on hand going into 2010. Not only does Strickland’s campaign have more cash on hand than any Ohio governor in history at this point in the campaign, but he also has more than any other Democratic Governor up for re-election in the nation.

"We are thrilled with the support that Ohioans have shown for Governor Strickland and his leadership during these tough economic times," Strickland for Governor Campaign Manager Aaron Pickrell said. "They understand that he has made the right investments to ensure that our state emerges from this global economic recession stronger than ever and know that we simply cannot afford to bring back the failed trickle-down economic policies that benefited Wall Street at the expense of Ohio. In the coming months, we look forward to discussing Governor Strickland’s record and his plans to ensure that our economy works for all Ohio families."

In addition to reporting $6.17 million cash on hand, Strickland’s campaign announced that they had raised $6.4 million since the beginning of 2009 and $2.8 million over the last 6 months.
