What was the Club for Growth's record in the 2002 Elections?

----------------------------------------------------

-- The Club for Growth won 17 out of 19 of our targeted races in the Nov. 5th election—a record of success that exceeded even our most optimistic forecasts. We also had a string of eight key victories in contested primaries.

-- Of the 33 GOP House Freshmen, 12 were elected with full Club for Growth backing. We're confident these twelve will be among the stars of the new class.

-- 5 of the 8 Senate GOP freshmen received substantial Club member support.

-- Club for Growth members were the NUMBER ONE source of bundled contributions to congressional candidates in the nation during the crucial last two and a half weeks leading to the election.

-- Our membership has exploded from 1,500 to 9,000 during this election cycle.

-- In the last election, the Club and its members delivered nearly as much campaign funding to Republican candidates as the #1 and #2 CORPORATE PACs combined.

-- The Club for Growth is now NUMBER ONE in funds for Republican candidates outside the Republican Party itself! And we gave it to the most deserving candidates, not the big-spending Republicans.

-- In the last election, you and other Club for Growth members raised or donated over MILLION to the Club and Club-endorsed candidates. In 2000, Club for Growth members generated .4 million for our candidates and programs to help get our kind of candidates elected.

-- The respected NATIONAL JOURNAL ranked the Club as one of the most effective political organizations in America--an especially impressive accomplishment given that we are ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!

-- he leading liberal group that bundles members' contributions, Emily's List, went head to head against the Club in four races this year. The Club won ALL four contests.

-- The Club for Growth's lifetime record is now 8-2 against Emily's List candidates.
