Miklosi Posts Strong Fundraising Numbers

  • 28 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Democrat Joe Miklosi got off to a slow start last year in his bid to unseat Rep. Mike Coffman, but fundraising seems to have picked up (no doubt with an assist from Coffman’s continual birther comment problems).

According to a press release, Miklosi raised more than $335,000 in the last fundraising period. Full release after the jump.

Gaining momentum as the November election approaches, Joe Miklosi’s campaign raised more than $335,000 in contributions during the latest fundraising period, his best individual quarter so far.

The campaign has raised more than $800,000 to date and saw an unprecedented increase in small donor activity since Congressman Mike Coffman’s birther comments that exposed him an as extremist in the new moderate 6th Congressional District.  There is no question this will be the most competitive seat in Colorado this November, and with his message of fighting for sensible solutions and standing up to special interests, Miklosi is well positioned to flip this seat.    

“It’s wonderful that so many supporters came through for us,” said Joe Livoti, Miklosi’s Finance Director. “With this broad base of support that grows stronger every day, I’m confident we’ll have the resources needed to defeat Congressman Coffman and his extreme agenda that hurts the middle class.”

“I am inspired to have the active involvement of so many individuals in my campaign,” said Joe Miklosi. “I believe it’s because they fully understand we’re fighting for the future of our country, and working on commonsense solutions to grow the economy, create jobs, protect our seniors and stand up for working families of Colorado.””

Official Numbers:

Total raised this quarter: $336,746

Total number of contributions: 2,607

Average individual contribution size: $85.82

Total raised to date: $802,413

  1. Has peace been made over the firing of the former finance director (single mother) who was forced to her parents home without health insurance or severance payment?

    How does the DCCC feel about backing such a candidate?

    1. about someone who makes a lot of money outsourcing American jobs to China while proclaiming how wonderful he is at creating good American jobs?

      How about someone who pulls down a six figure salary for overseeing nothing and letting American jobs be outsourced to China while he was in charge?

        1. contribute (“create”) most of the jobs

          and, if most people who are unemployed once had jobs

          and, if most small business people are Republicans

          then, most people were fired by Republicans

        2. that is exactly what assholes like you want in the name of the great god Austerity.

          You didn’t answer my question either.  If it is really true then how would an uber-patriot such as yourself feel about being stabbed in the back by someone who wants you to continue to shower them with benefits and tax breaks.

      1. ….well that is except for Gilpen Guy…he’s in full on mood spasm over this…but he’s not objecting, more like he’s suggesting that we “take it outside”

        Do you really want to go there asshole? …….. You really want to go there?

    2. Do you really want to go there asshole?

      As we are seeing with the Swift Boating of Romney if you play tit-for-tat, Democrats can dig up a whole lot of dirt on sluts who fuck themselves into an easy life and then pretend that they are experts on what working mothers go through.  You really want to go there?

      1. This is about the single mother that was fired, kicked to the street, without a dime of severance or healthcare for she or her newborn.

        So yes GG, let’s get it on if you choose to defend the boss that did this?

          1. Put up or STFU, “libertad”.

            Name, source, anything that leads away from the likelyhood you’ve made this up.

            Key: you need to get on this now.

            This ranks down there with your silverback bullshit.

            Truly, if you made this up, it should be the end for you here.

             

        1. has been instructed to promote attacks on candidates personal lives is a good indication that your party is starting to sweat the outcome of this race.

        2. No, I don’t know. And if it were true, don’t you think your Romney thugs would have put out an ad by now? Or are they too stupid to see the obvious opportunity?

    1. In general, it can usually be said that generic R has more money coming in than generic D – it’s a matter of maxed-out and out-of-state donors.

      And Coffman will have more in the bank, too.  The question is, can Joe effectively raise his visibility and run a solid campaign.  This is the first quarter where his numbers say “yes”.

      1. versus Miklosi’s $335K, $207K of that money for Coffman is from PAC’s.

        If the vast majority of Miklosi’s contributions were from individual donors then he is doing a really good job of keeping up with Coffman on that front.

        Joe will never catch up to Coffman’s CoH–Coffman has more on hand than any other Colorado congressional candidate.

        The real point is what you just said, PR.  

      2. even though Coffman has more $, since he is hiding out it just really increases the potential of Miklosi really, really gaining from door knocking. That is Joe’s best and only chance. In fact, if he is not knowcking on someone’s door or sitting in their living room right now, 7:30 PM on a Friday, then he will not win. He should be doing this for 12-14 hours a day, every day

    2. but this story is about Miklosi attracting more attention and increased fund raising which makes this race more competitive even if he isn’t the front runner.  Another anemic quarter would have let Coffman off the hook easy.  He just might have to go to Aurora and meet with the general public to win.

      There is also the possibility that Coffman being a jerk will do something else stupid and further expose how little he contributes to improving our nation.  Miklosi would be a better asset to Coloradoans and would be able to work with the Obama administration if Democrats retake the house too.

      1. included information about Coffman’s funds.  To just report Miklosi’s good fund raising  could lead supporters to think that he

        doesn’t need any more financial help. We have contributed to Miklosi, even though we are not in CD-6. We will continue to do so.

        I do not believe it is worthwhile in a political campaign to distort facts even if that means just reporting the

        good news.

    1. he’s right. However, you’re right in the sense of being actually competitive, and not just on paper. But Miklosi’s fundraising numbers are pushing the reality of the CD-6 race into being slightly less about the on paper numbers game of the district. Slightly.
