•  
• by: Colorado Pols

Full press release after the jump, for the one-month period ending May 26, Democratic Attorney General candidate Stan Garnett will report $66,301 raised, with just over $85,000 on hand as of now. We haven’t seen a release from GOP incumbent John Suthers, but Garnett is expected to handily outperform Suthers in this regard all the way through November.

UPDATE: Incumbent John Suthers, who did not see fit to issue a press release, raised $21,075 during the same period–that’s a ratio of 1:3 for those of you keeping score.

                 Stan Garnett Posts Latest Fundraising Totals

Attorney General candidate Stan Garnett today announced strong fundraising totals for the first full reporting cycle since entering the race. The one-month reporting period concluding May 26 showed Garnett raising $66,301. Added to the total raised in the previous reporting period, which ended April 26, that brought Garnett’s total raised to date to $100,793.

The Garnett campaign has a cash-on-hand balance as of May 26 of $85,570.

“I’m very happy about where we are at this stage in the race,” Garnett said. “This shows that we’re on track, and that our message is motivating a lot of people to show their support. I’m humbled, particularly, by the number of small individual contributions coming in from across Colorado.”

Garnett, the 20th Judicial District Attorney, received the Democratic Party’s nomination at the party’s May 22nd State Assembly.  In what is likely to be an early highlight of the campaign, he is slated to debate his opponent at 6 p.m., June 2nd, at the DU School of Law. The debate is being moderated by Aaron Harber, host of “Colorado Election 2010,” and will be recorded for repeated broadcast throughout the campaign season.
