Romer Raises a Cool Million

Our analysis of the latest fundraising numbers from all the candidates is coming soon, but until then, Chris Romer just sent out a little teaser about how he’s doing:

ROMER RAISES OVER $1 MILLION

Chris Romer continues momentum for his campaign, reaching over $1 million total raised, after another strong month of fundraising

(DENVER) — Denver mayoral candidate Chris Romer announced that he raised over $280,000 in March, bringing his campaign’s total raised to date to over $1,000,000.

Fundraising cannot win a race alone. But we’re sure Chris Romer is sitting pretty on top a stack of a million dollar bills laughing as the other candidates duke it out.

After the run-off, we expect he’ll spend all of it. If we were one of the other candidates, we’d be a little nervous about even having to make it to the run-off. Running against the guy who can raise $1,000,000 in a non-federal race has got to make you more than a little nervous: that’s a lot of positive (or negative) TV ads you’re going to have to compete with. Not to mention mailers, door-hangers, field staff, phone banks, and in this day and age, Facebook ads.
