State Treasurer Money Report

  • 8 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

The latest financial reports for the State Treasurer race are in, and they pose an interesting question for Republican Mark Hillman, who?has already?burned?through a lot of money. Hillman has raised about $247,000 since he first announced his candidacy last summer (including about $65,000 in Q2), but he only has $145,000 cash on hand. Ordinarily that might not be a big deal, but Hillman has accepted the voluntary spending limit cap of $500,000, which means that he’s really going to have to tighten his wallet to save enough money for TV air time in the fall.

Democrat Cary Kennedy, meanwhile, has raised a total of about $195,000 since announcing her candidacy in January (including about $88,000 in Q2), and has about $165,000 cash on hand.

Unless Hillman is counting on outside money in the form of 527 committees or something similar, Kennedy is on pace to?be able to afford?a much larger TV buy in a few months. In a race that’s likely to come down to little more than name ID at the polls, that could be a huge advantage for Kennedy.

  1. Campaign Finance Numbers coming in…

      For many “insiders,” today is an important milestone in Colorado politics — it marks the deadline for filing campaign finance reports for most of the month of June.  The next few campaign finance reports will cover much smaller repor…

  2. Mark Hillman already has great name recognition among conservatives, and is well regarded. I don’t think this race will come down to money.

  3. Out here in rural colorado, our local paper will run Hillman’s column every once in a while. The Republicans here love it. Everything I hear about Hillman has him as the “Golden Boy”, this leads me to believe he will win.

  4. Hillman has virtually no name recognition outside of party acitivists — for that matter, neither does Kennedy.  Whoever spends more on TV in this race has a huge advantage, and Hillman is just pissing his money away. 

    What did he spend $100k on six months out from the election?  That’s 20% of his entire budget — gone! 

    Come on Mark, get it together. You can’t count on Trailhead to bail you out of this one — they have enough to deal with between the gov race and the legislature.

  5. you all, including CoPols, have highly selective memories. you seem to forget when HILLMAN called out TRAILHEAD and told them to STOP running ads that were attacking the Dems and praising Hillman. the guy isnt relying on trailhead so stop framing it like he is.

    you can hate his policy ideas, but you cant hate his strong sense of ethics and desire to work with members of the opposite party instead of constantly bickering with them.  Hillman is “relying on” his superb qualities as a candidate, and Colorado would be much better off if there were more politicians like him in both parties.
