Weiser holds fundraising lead in Colorado governor's race

Attorney General Phil Weiser leads the fundraising race for Colorado governor with $2. 5 million, positioning himself firmly ahead of the primary election. U. S. Senator Michael Bennet, who entered the race four months later, set a record by raising $1.

7 million but has only $1. 3 million available for campaign activities. The financial disparity is notable as no Republican candidate raised more than $35,000 last quarter, underscoring the competitive nature of the Democratic race. In the attorney general contest, Secretary of State Jena Griswold leads with $698,000 in cash after raising $808,000 in her first three months. Meanwhile, Attorney David Seligman and former U.

S. prosecutor Hetal Doshi raised $402,000 and $369,000, respectively, during the same period. District Attorney Michael Dougherty and former state House Speaker Crisanta Duran finished with $120,000 and $32,092, respectively. In the treasurer's race, state Senator Jeff Bridges raised $172,000, significantly outpacing state Representative Brianna Titone's $28,393. This fundraising activity indicates a well-organized effort among Democratic candidates as they prepare for the upcoming election.
