Colorado's Congressional Incumbents and Democratic Challengers Post Strong Fundraising Numbers
The midterm elections are a year away, but fundraising efforts are already underway as each party vies for control of Congress. Recent third-quarter fundraising numbers reveal that Democratic challengers seeking to unseat Republican incumbents in traditionally safe red seats have garnered significant financial support.
Notably, Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired rear admiral, raised nearly $2.5 million in her campaign to secure the Democratic nomination and challenge Republican Lauren Boebert next fall. Laubacher ended the third quarter with almost $2 million in cash on hand, surpassing Boebert's funds.
"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," Laubacher said in a statement criticizing Boebert for not being attentive to her constituents. "I'll show up, I'll listen, and I'll fight for real solutions for the people of this district."
