Winning with Class, Melton Continues to Perform

•  
• by: AndrewBateman

Jovan Melton continues to outraise his opponent, Terry Todd, in Colorado State House District 41.

Melton: $23k

Todd: $11k

But it is the source of that money that is most impressive.

Not only has Melton now raised twice as much as his opponent, he has done so without taking any special interest money and a significantly higher percentage of his funds have come from his own community, Aurora CO.

Meanwhile, Todd’s campaign is relying heavily on special interest money (over 50% of his funds are from PACs, Small Donor Committees and Lobbyists) and on contributions from outside of Aurora (over 80% of donations to his campaign list a city other than Aurora as the source).

Ballots were mailed today and will reach homes in the next day or two. They are due back to the elections office by June 26th.

Cool pie graphs after the jump…

And yes, I am supporting Jovan Melton’s campaign, but I am not being paid or otherwise compensated to do so.
