Both made fortunes in the construction sector and each put them into contributions and loans in their own campaigns, recently submitting campaign finance records that cover until the March 31 show. Each of the candidates’ war chests offset the total of the other four Republicans seeking the seat. However, only one of these comparatively funded campaigns remains valid – that of Joe O’Dea, a construction company executive who applied for the ballot. GOP supporters dashed the hopes of Fort Collins programmer Gino Campana, the only other Republican candidate who said he had raised more than $ 1 million, at the party’s state assembly on April 9. On the contrary, the representatives of the assembly supported the state MP Ron Hanks, a Republican in the county of Fremont and a rejecter of the presidential elections of 2020, who also had some of the lowest reported concentrations of funds in this field. Money did not matter then, however – with about 39% of the assembly voting, Hanks opened the field to face only O’Diag in the June 28 by-elections. The March 31 campaign finance reports, filed April 15, are the only Colorado residents’ look at fundraising and candidate spending ahead of the June 28 election. While a lot of money may be flowing from now until that election, these reports show a gap between Hanks and O’Dea at the start of their post-assembly race – and that anyone who shows up there will face a million-dollar establishment and without qualifying elections. O’Dea reported $ 1.45 million raised through March 31, including $ 632,000 in cash and nearly $ 610,000 in cash. Hanks said he raised nearly $ 58,000, $ 30,000 of which came from his own pockets. He had $ 16,000 in cash to close the month. Michael Bennett, who has been in the U.S. Senate since 2009 and is aiming for a third full term, has said he has raised more than $ 6 million in cash while waiting to see which Republican wins the party’s nomination.
Acting members of Congress have a strong monetary advantage
All of Colorado’s current members of Congress – Democrats Diane DeGette, Joe Neguse and Jason Crow and Republicans Lauren Boebert, Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn – entered the spring with big financial advantages over their challengers. Bobert, a wonderful fundraiser representing the 3rd Congressional District, reported nearly $ 2.2 million in cash at the end of the first deposit period. Senator Don Coram, who is challenging Boebert for the Republican nomination for the seat, reported about $ 55,000 in hand. He applied on the ballot. Democrats vying for the 3rd Congressional District similarly start the spring with unequal finances: Adam Frisch reported $ 1.67 million in cash at the end of March, most of it from a $ 1.5 million campaign loan. of. He applied for the original ballot, as did Alex Walker. Walker reported about $ 69,000 in cash to close the fundraising quarter. Sol Sandoval, who won a seat on the ballot through the Democratic parliamentary committee process, reported about $ 93,000 in cash. With the exception of Fries, State Sen. Carrie Donovan alone broke the $ 1 million total fundraiser, with nearly $ 1.95 million in total. However, a congressional reshuffle pulled her out of the constituency and she withdrew her candidacy. However, he still had $ 403,000 in the bank from the campaign. Among the remaining Republicans, Buck reported $ 625,000 to the bank to nearly $ 171,000 to Democratic Isaac McCorkl in the race for the 4th Congressional District. In the 5th Congressional District, Doug Lamborn reported $ 435,000 in cash. Republican challengers Rebecca Keltie and Andrew Heaton reported less than $ 4,000 in cash each. Republicans Bob Lewis and state lawmaker Dave Williams will appear on the ballot for the 4th and 5th congressional constituencies, respectively, after qualifying through county assemblies. The campaign finance reports were not submitted to the FEC either. In the 5th, Democratic candidates Michael Columbe and David Torres said they finished the quarter with about $ 16,800 and $ 3,800 in the bank, respectively. Democratic incumbent leaders also face the first advantages. DeGette had $ 530,000 in the bank for Democratic challenger Neal Walia’s $ 37,000 for the 1st Congressional District. Neguse, who has no major party challengers registered with the FEC, had $ 1.6 million to defend his seat in the 2nd Congressional District. and Crowe had $ 1.9 million at their disposal to defend the 6th Congressional District. None of his registered plaintiffs said he raised more than $ 10,000.
In the Colorado two open bidding competitions, the archives show a much narrower fundraising
In the race for the open seat of the 7th District of Colorado Congress, another candidate stands out for self-financing. Republican Tim Reichert said he had more than $ 711,000 in cash at the end of the quarter, boosted by a $ 500,000 loan he gave to his campaign. The only other Republican in that race to finish the quarter with more than $ 100,000 in hand, Brad Dempsey, failed to qualify by a landslide vote. He told Colorado Politics that he planned to challenge the decision. The other two Republicans eligible for this primary, Erik Aadland and Laurel Imer, said they would start in April with about $ 56,000 and $ 12,000 in the bank, respectively. State Sen. Brittany Pettersen, the only Democrat in the 7th District race to replace retired U.S. Democrat Ed Perlmutter, left in the spring with $ 490,000 in hand. For the new 8th Congressional District, Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann mentioned the thickest wallet in the four Republicans’ qualifying race – but there is hardly any separation seen elsewhere. Kulmann reported $ 309,000 to the bank, Tyler Allcorn reported about $ 208,000, State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer reported $ 174,000, and Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine reported about $ 141,000. State MP Yadira Caraveo, the only Democrat to seek the seat, closed the quarter with $ 326,000 in hand.
