Campaign finance announcements are starting to trickle out. Cory Gardner's campaign has announced it has raised over $200,000 in the first seven weeks he has been in the race. This is a strong showing that will surely outstrip his primary opponents. Betsy Markey raised $342,000 in the first quarter of 2009, so Gardner is raising money at a similar pace.
The campaign's release follows:
In the race for Colorado's 4th Congressional District, Cory Gardner has taken a commanding fundraising lead over his primary opponents by raising over $200,000 during his first seven weeks in the race.
"I am humbled by the outpouring of support that I have received thus far," Gardner said. He added, "In a targeted race that is going to require a strong campaign, this is a good start for us."
Gardner will file his first report with the Federal Election Commission on July 15th. The report will show a broad base of support with donors from each of the 4th Congressional District's eighteen counties. Gardner has also received donations from Democrats, Unaffiliated and Republican voters who have responded to his vision for a better Colorado.
