Colorado's Congressional Incumbents and Democratic Challengers Raise Strong Fundraising Numbers
The midterm elections are a year away, but the fundraising race is already underway as each party vies for control of Congress.
Third-quarter fundraising numbers have been released, with Democratic challengers seeking to unseat Republican incumbents in traditionally safe red seats pulling in significant amounts of money.
Notably, Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired rear admiral, raised almost $2.5 million in her campaign to secure the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Lauren Boebert next fall.
Laubacher ended the 3rd quarter with almost $2 million in cash on hand, surpassing Boebert's funds. In a statement, Laubacher criticized Boebert for not being attentive to her constituents, saying:
I've listened to veterans driving hours for care they've earned, hospitals struggling to keep their doors open, and families hit by rising costs. I'll show up, I'll listen, and I'll fight for real solutions for the people of this district.
