Colorado’s Congressional Incumbents and Democratic Challengers Raise Strong Fundraising Numbers
The midterm elections are a year away, but the money races are already gaining momentum as each party vies for control of Congress.
Third-quarter fundraising numbers reveal that Democratic challengers seeking to take on Republican incumbents in safe red seats have pulled in significant funds. Notably, Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired rear admiral, raised almost $2.5 million in her campaign to secure the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Lauren Boebert next fall.
Laubacher ended the 3rd quarter with almost $2 million cash on hand, surpassing Boebert. She criticized Boebert for not being attentive to her constituents, stating:
"I've listened to veterans driving hours for care they've earned, hospitals struggling to keep their doors open, and families hit by rising costs. I'll show up, I'll listen, and I'll fight for real solutions for the people of this district."
Laubacher's strong fundraising numbers indicate a competitive race ahead.
