What kind of fundraising numbers would it take to change people’s views on the CD-2 race. I’ve heard some random fundraising numbers from obvious supporters of various candidates, but I’d be more curious to here what people’s realistic estimates are. In addition, what kind of showing (good or bad) would totally surprise people?
After the numbers are in, it would be fun for everyone involved to come back here and see how things were predicted.

He needs to raise at least $100,000 to make a statement and get attention. Joan will be fine, but with a busy legislative schedule I doubt she’ll produce eye-popping numbers this quarter, but she has time so she will.
He has been fundraising since Dec, I am sure he has raised a good deal of cash. He has NO name ID and I am sure his contacts are more or less maxed out right now.
I say everyone comes in between 200 – 300 k
not a chance—the election is over a year away, not on most people’s radar, and considered a safe seat for Dems—all this translates into people not feeling the need to give there—I suspect 200 to 300k be the total for all three candidates, but that will be a little high. It takes awhile to really open up those purse strings.
If that were true, he would have needed file an April quarterly report. He started raising funds and running within a week of Joan. Jared was about a month behind. All of it has happened this quarter for all three of them.
On actblue Jared has raised over $50,000 from about 100 people. For a guy who doesn’t need to do grassroots that’s not a bad start.
Oh He has it, everyone does not think he does but the man knows a lot of people. Even in the pride parade he is going to have over 40 walkers. ( the largest Dem parade team)
There are many races in which funding is the whoel story. the CD2 Dem primary is not one of them.
It is all about organization. I really don’t see Polis putting together the kind of organization that it would take to out preform Fitz-Gerald. The lady really knows how to campaign and do so successfully.
I would put an agressive paid field program up against union backing any day especially in a primary.
I dont see Joan picking up anyone good.
In any of his previous campaigns Polis’s organziation was quite lacking. I have not yet seen any indication this year will be different
you have no clue what you are talking about. He has good people on his team.
Dan, lets post your resume up here then you can put your 2 cents in on who people hire.
Knock it off!
Glen Browder for Congress (1987 Special Election) – winning campaign
(1989-1992) moved to Colorado and learned my way around local politics
1992 – Clinton/Gore – winning campaign
1994- focused on voter education re: ballot issues
1996 – Diana DeGette for Congress – winning campaign
1998 – Clean Water Amendment – winning campaign
(1999-2004) left politics to raise kids (their mother died)
2004 – House Majority Project – winning campaign
Have since worked internally in the Party.
So yes sir, I have 20 years experience recognizing winning campaign strategies and organization.
