"Obviously I am gratified and thrilled with the terrific financial response I have received in the past few weeks," said Paolino, who last week was unanimously endorsed by the Radnor GOP Committee. "Having now raised more than $100,000, I am confident that I can run an aggressive campaign to win the Republican Primary, and then take this seat back for the GOP in November."
