El Paso County Q3 Fund Raising

•  
• by: El Paso Rockefeller Republican

( – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Here are the Q3 totals for fundraising by campaigns in the Springs. The interesting fact is that Ds out raised Rs in both senate races and two of the house races. In addition, Ds would have out raised in another race except for self funding. I do not believe this is the picture of fund raising in the Springs in the past.

Does anyone believe the 527 spending will come in heavily in the next several weeks to overwhelm the D spending? Does anyone see the spending levels indicating competitiveness in the races?
