State Sen. Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) announced today that her campaign for Congress in CD-6 had raised more than $377,000 in her first fundraising quarter.

Incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) announced last week that his campaign had brought in $475,000 in Q3. Coffman’s fundraising quarter was impressive on its own, but remember that he was coming off a Q2 fundraising period that was his worst in 4 years.

If you consider Coffman’s last two fundraising quarters — when Carroll was already considered the likely Democratic nominee — Coffman averages about $373,081 in each reporting period. Carroll’s $377k in her first official fundraising period puts her right in line with Coffman at this stage in the race, though Coffman has more cash on hand because of his incumbency.
