A press release this morning from Democratic CD-3 candidate Adam Frisch ups the ante significantly in the race for the nomination to take on freshman GOP outrage-o-matic Rep. Lauren Boebert (or her GOP primary opponent Don Coram, in the event) in November, with a respectable organic fundraising haul backed up by a huge cash infusion to level the field with Boebert’s deep MAGA resources:
“To defeat Boebert, we have over $1.65 million on hand in our first 50 days,” noted Frisch. “I am putting up my own money to support my principles. I deposited a $1.5 million dollar loan in our campaign account, together with over $230,000 from nearly 900 contributors,” added Frisch.
“As a patriot, businessman, 8-year city councilman, and family man, I offer a clear alternative that can bring moderate Republicans, Independents, and Democrats together to retire Boebert and return this seat to rational representation,” Frisch added.
“Lauren Boebert is a national joke, a punch line for comedians, and an embarrassment to our state. Boebert’s extreme ideas, hate speech, and radical voting record – she voted to support Vladimir Putin twice in 2 weeks – borders on treason and betrays the interests of the people of the third district of Colorado. Boebert must be defeated for the good of the country and the good citizens she pretends to represent,” stated Frisch.
“Boebert beware…you are going to lose,” added Frisch.
Frisch has promised to stay completely focused on slamming Boebert instead of campaigning against fellow Democrats in the primary. No matter who you may favor in that race, this is enough money to saturation bomb Boebert with paid media in her rural district through June 28th–paying dividends to all of her opponents.
So it’s a big deal. As Dark Helmet famously said to Lone Starr, “now let’s see how well you handle it.”

Should spend the $1.5M in the new CD-8.
When you piss into the wind you get wet pants.
If Coram wounds but does not defeat Repy Le Pew Pew, Frisch could win in November. Ray kogovsek, ben campbell, John Salazar have all won this seat as Democrats.
ABPP
Anyone but Pew Pew. She's just so completely embarrassing.
There are two major population centers in CD3: Grand Junction and Pueblo. I can't speak for Pueblo, but I can speak for Grand Junction, where nobody knows who this guy is, and there has been nothing in the local press either for or against him. My social media feeds are absent his name also. Money isn't everything, especially when it comes from your own pockets.
As for Coram, his petitions haven't been confirmed yet. (SOS website last updated re: petitions on March 25.) It is still an unknown who will be challenging Boebert in the GOP Primary.
I think it’s likely that he will address the state assembly and try at getting 30% of delegates and then he has his petitions if/when that doesn’t happen
Frisch already made the ballot by petitions approved 3/24.

How is this guy going to compete with Alex Walker and his shit storm campaign?
And don't tell by spraying mace in his own face. Levi Tillerman tried that and go nowhere.
Two problems for any Democrat: It’s more of an R-leaning district than it’s been since the 1980 census, and he’s from a resort town.
