HB man gives Ron Paul a big boost

November 12th, 2007, 9:54 am · 3 Comments · posted by Martin Wisckol, Politics reporter

… For instance, ron-paul.jpghere’s one on the president’s race I think merits a spot on both sites:

Huntington Beach’s James Sugra, 28, played a major role in the head-turning fundraising of libertarian-leaning GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul. Paul raised $4 million online on Nov. 5, thanks largely to folks working independent of the campaign. Among those folks, Sugra is being given top billing by some, including The New York Times in this story Sunday. The dough not only helps fund the low-budget campaign of Paul’s principled but longshot candidacay, but gave him a post in visibility by becoming a news event in itself.

Sugra’s role was creating a video pitching the one-day fundraising drive. This site was created to pitch the video.
