McInnis Wins 3Q Fundraising Race

  • 27 Comments
  • by: ClubTwitty

I figured that since the others were diaries, even though I did post this in the open thread, that fair is fair to acknowledge Scott McInnis’ take, from the Sentinel:

Former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Grand Junction, garnered $550,000 to take first place in the money race among candidates for governor.

McInnis outpaced the incumbent, Bill Ritter, a Democrat, who reported collecting $452,000 and state Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, who collected $419,000 in his bid.

UPDATE Some of the questions I posed were answered by Douglasm under the open thread:

From the Post

1706 donors and 92% were in state.

So, McInnis out raised Penry from 200+ more donors.  Both claim 92% from within Colorado.  Ritter got the most donors.

UPDATE2-Penry came in third, Ritter was between him and McInnis.  My mistake.

The big questions outstanding are the breakdowns:

In state v. outof-state?-

Who got the oil and gas money-And if it split-who got what oil and gas money (i.e. independents v. multi-nationals)?  Who got the most donors?

Still, that both (viable) GOP challengers either out raised or nearly matched Gov. Ritter must make some folks pretty nervous over there on Colfax.

              1. We have grassfed beef (no steroids) here from McGregor Ranch. Their filet mignons are to die for. Expensive but good grief–tender, like cutting into butter.

                I probably can’t afford the bet, now that I think about it.

      1. “Don’t you know that you are a shooting star…doncha know?”

        Actually I think Penry still has a good chance of getting top line, but this suggests that McInnis will be around a while.  Here’s hoping for a bloody primary!

  1. I have to admit being impressed myself with McInnis out fundraising Ritter.  The scientific polls not made of straw and the $$$’s show that he’s ahead of both Ritter and Penry.

    1. Among the R’s McInnis has appeal.  I’m sure if you did the breakdown most of the money did not come from PRO PINION CANYON people.  Like it or not, that issue only plays strong in SE CO and Colorado Springs.  Passion for the issue isn’t anywhere else in the state. That won’t be the issue that tips the scale in this election.  Money will be defining, as it is in any election.  This is a statewide race not the 4th Congressional.

  2. Our Governor has mishandled almost everything he touches. My friends in labor are upset, my latino friends are upset, average working and RETIRED coloradans are upset. The Governor losing in the first money test against his likely opponet McInnis should not come as a surprise nor should his trailing in the polls. Had he and his team been awake the last 3 years he wouldn’t be in this mess!
