Paccione Raises $295,000

  • 18 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Democrat Angie Paccione raised $295,000Â for her campaign against Republican Marilyn Musgrave in CD-4. Paccione’s campaign hasn’t been able to really catch fire, but her Q2 fundraising at least keeps her in the mix for national support later.

Click below for the full press release…

State Rep. Angie Paccione has kicked her campaign for Congress into high gear with approximately $295,000 in the second quarter of this year, bringing her campaign total to approximately $695,000.

“This is a significant step for our campaign,” Paccione said. “We’re right where we need to be.”

The figures reveal strong local grassroots support for the campaign. Ninety percent of donors came from Colorado, and 87 percent of donors gave less than $100 apiece.

Combined with recent polling numbers showing Paccione and Marilyn Musgrave in a virtual tie—and that 51 percent of Colorado’s Fourth District voters want someone new to represent them in Congress, while only 34 percent would re-elect Musgrave—the second-quarter figures signal an invigorating race to come.

“This shows that the people of Colorado are hungry for change, and we’re going to give it to them,” Paccione said. “We’re in it to win it. It’s time for real leadership for a change.”Â

  1. Hmmmmmm. Didn’t the Line last week say fundraising wasn’t going well? And she only outraised Peggy by 50 grand . . . and without EMILY’s?

  2. Those numbers look a bit funny… who gave her all the $$$ if she got so many small donations?

    Poor planning, foggy poll numbers, now weird money.  What the heck is going on over there???

  3. Obviously a ton of people gave her small donations. It doesn’t take fuzzy math to figure that one out. Seems to be Paccione has some serious grassroots & financial support.

    Foggy poll…. Where is Musgrave’s poll to dispute the numbers???? Oh wait, they didn’t release it because it said the same damn thing!

  4. I don’t think Musgrave has conducted a poll yet, have they?

    Still, the only explanations for AP are she got a ton of individual contributions, or she’s fudging her math to look competitive.

    If the latter, she’d be bragging.  Since not, and the simplest explanation is usually the one that’s closest to the truth…

    Spin away, I guess…

  5. Doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out. Go look at the FEC filings for yourself, if they are out.

    Paccione raised nearly $300,000–50 grand more than Lamm, without a major national donor list, when according to naysayers she’s having a bad fundraising quarter. She’s got Repubs volunteering for her campaign, has got a list of endorsements that would make any candidate jump for joy, is visiting every corner of CD4, all while MM can’t bother to support the basics in her own district.

    And those basics include…RMNP wilderness designation, which every local town board, mayor, and town involved supports but MM won’t, she can’t support trigger locks which would add an additional cost of about $10.00 to buyers, has voted against vet bills and motions, including a pay bonus to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, an increase in disability benefits to those coming home from the wars permanently disabled, she’s received a -4 from the REP America (Republicans for Environmental Protection) and…shall I go on?

  6. The Line said that she isn’t raising special interest money, and she clearly is not. It’s good to have a lot of donors willing to write checks, but you can’t keep that up forever – you need the big money eventually.

  7. You can’t compare Angie’s money to Peggy’s.  Peggy’s core base in the 7th is divided between Ed and her.  Angie is raising money for the general—not the primary.

    Both Peggy and Angie are doing well for where they are in their respective races.

  8. I agree, Coloradem. They are both doing well. My point wasn’t well made. And it was this…Angie does not have national support, YET. Can you imagine what her numbers will look like when she does?

    Respectfully, ColoradoPols, I think with numbers like this being posted, she will have the “big money” soon enough.

  9. Rorke’s Drift,

    Do you really believe that Marilyn, with all that money, hasn’t run a poll to see where she is?  That would have to make Guy Short the dumbest politico in the free world.

  10. If Guy Short is the “dumbest politico in the free world” then the world is flat, Elvis ain’t dead, and we never walked on the moon!

    Angry Angie’s paltry $290K is fair.  When the rubber meets the road the good people of the 4th CD will come home and vote for Marilyn Musgrave, because MM represents them in Washington, not the radical liberal interests that Angie is beholden to.

  11. I suspect that in addition to numerous small donations from within her district, Paccione is getting a lot of small contributions from folks in Udall’s and DeGette’s districts who would love to see Musgrave out of a job.

  12. “If Guy Short the “dumbest politico in the free world” then the world is flat, Elvis ain’t dead, and we never walked on the moon!”

    And Marilyn hasn’t run a poll to see where she is compared to Angie.

  13. I would guess that Mr. Short and Co in the Musgrave camp don’t feel the need to pander endlessly to a left-center blog that is only read by insiders for a laugh and fanatical liberal activists who believe every anymous comment.  I’m calling this one now, Mellow Marilyn beats Angry Angie by 13!

  14. Hee hee, If “Guy Short is a god to me” is right, then the 4th CD is a land of radical wingnuts who don’t care that their representative is long on symbolism (gay marriage, gun locks) but short on substance. If that’s true, they’ll send MM back to Washington and enjoy 2 more years on non-representation, at least until the R’s in charge hit upon another tempest in a teapot with which to stir up the base.

    Count me as someone who does NOT believe every “anymous” comment.
