Pro-separation group leads early fundraising for Alberta referendum ads
Two weeks after registering as a third-party advertiser, the pro-separation group Let Alberta Decide has taken an early lead in fundraising ahead of Alberta's October referendum campaign.
Third-party advertisers registered to campaign in Alberta's upcoming October referendum have begun reporting fundraising totals, and the pro-separation group Let Alberta Decide has emerged with an early lead in donations collected for advertising purposes.
The group launched just over two weeks ago and has since outpaced other registered third-party advertisers in the amount of money raised to fund its campaign messaging ahead of the referendum vote.
Third-party advertisers are groups or individuals, separate from official referendum committees, that register with Elections Alberta to spend money on advertising related to the referendum question. Fundraising totals reported by these groups offer an early indicator of financial support and organizational momentum on each side of the debate as the October vote approaches.
Further fundraising updates from Let Alberta Decide and other registered third-party advertisers are expected as the referendum campaign continues over the coming months.
