Top House Targets Fundraising

• 2 Comments
• by: Colorado Pols

Financial reports are due today to the Colorado Secretary of State, marking what will probably be the last reporting date before most expenditures are made in order to ensure that campaigns are reaching absentee voters.

There’s not a lot to be gleaned from most of the fundraising reports concerning the top targeted House races, particularly since more outside money (from 527s, etc.) will be spent than the candidates will spend themselves. Nevertheless, there are a few interesting notes, such as Republican Dave Owen raising $0 in the last three weeks. Click below for some of the reports…
