OK #’s, I figured with the head start he had on the other guys running there in CD 5, it would have been more though
Wonder why they COPOLS posted this ASAP and not Rivera’s from yesterday….
lionel rivera is moving fast. $40,000 in 2 weeks versus $60,000 in 2 months! plus the money is all from the district. he is def the candidate to watch.
Is Crank the frontrunner? Those numbers are less than impressive.
It’s interesting, I think, that Crank has 60k reported after being considered the heir apparent. Rivera has been working hard for less than a month is closing the gap fast. I guess there is something to be said for real experience after all, Mr. Rivera is proof of that and his leadership would be a welcome addition to the Colorado Congressional delegation.
What about Doug Lamborn? Interesting that he has not released his numbers … can’t be good.
Also interesting that the Mayor has such support from developers. Shouldn’t he recluse himself from the Mayors office? I find it frightening that much of Crank’s $ is from outside the district.
I say lamborn tops crank by five grand.
So Crank gets the lobbyist money, Rivera gets the developers and I suspect Lamborn will have ultra-conservative PAC money. I wonder who will have the “real” support of the people who will actually vote in the district? I am pulling for an upset and hope it’s not the more money candidate but the candidate with more sense (pun intended) ;o)
Those numbers are weak. I bet Anderson and Lamborn beat them both. Especially since Anderson’s been at this way longer then the rest.
Yes, and Crank’s especially weak. He and Hefley have been working this for over a year now, and that’s all they got? Tsk, tsk.
Whoever heard of a lobbyist that can’t raise money?
Maybe he can get some lessons from Jackie boy.
Jeff “I know Jack Abramoff, and I’m no Jack Abramoff” Crank.
I hope they spend it all bashing the hell out of each other.
I’m buying Orville Reddenbacher‘s Monday. ConAgra’s ready to pop.
Tell me no lies,
Who are the people? I need a definition here, not a liberal cliche.
Arm, the people are those who are citizens who live in this nation legally. Majority rules. The candidate that gets the most votes wins and doesn’t try to steal the election by recounting falling chads.
What is missing from this discussion is that it was announced yesterday that the money leader in the 5th CD for the first quarter was … wait for it … Jay Fawcett. He apparently raised $80k+
For probably the first time in history, a Dem raised more money in a quarter in the Fifth CD than any Republican. No, it probably will be the only time this year, but it is still rather meaningful…
Looks like Lamborn is leading the R’s – he’s raised $71k and kicked in another $100k of his own. He’s got $144k cash on hand.
