Senate President Brandon Shaffer, a Democrat challenging Republican incumbent Rep. Cory Gardner in CD-4, announced yesterday that his campaign had raised $180,000 in the third quarter, his first full fundraising quarter.

Shaffer’s Q3 haul isn’t eyebrow-raising for any reason, but it’s a strong amount that puts him on a fundraising pace that will keep him in the top tier for potential national support from the DCCC. Full press release after the jump.  

Brandon Shaffer announced today that his campaign raised just under $180,000 in the third quarter, with donations from more than 900 individuals.

“The response to our message has been incredible,” said Shaffer. “People are disgusted with Washington and the hyper partisan rhetoric they see. They want jobs, jobs, jobs, and all they get from Washington is bickering and gridlock.   This campaign will be difficult fighting against the special interests’ favorite incumbent, but it’s increasingly obvious that Northern Coloradans are fed up with all the hot air coming from Washington and are ready for straight talk and real Colorado solutions.”
