January 19, 2005 -- Candy Marcum comments "I am proud and honored our fundraising has been successful in such a short period of time. The race for District 14 is certainly a crowded field and by meeting our fundraising goals, we are on track for directly communicating with my neighbors about my long-term commitment and involvement in Dallas and how we can work together to build a stronger Dallas. More important, the contributions of 226 supporters shows that the citizens of Dallas and District 14 feel that I can best serve their needs and interests in City Hall."
