On what appears to be a great job at recruiting a great candidate. The Dems in Jeffco haven’t always been and really still aren’t always great at that. Looks like a winner here.
This race was locked up for the democrat candidate when uncle Mario delivered for the Democrats.
Could ramirez win? Sure, he’d have to walk nearly every precinct, have Obama shit the bed and have a Romney wave.
Withthis districts performance and DUR counts Ramirez would need to walk his ass of, get the Denver Post endorsement, and have a 2010 performance year + 5points to have any hope of returning.
The question here is how much of a majority do the union bosses and Tim Gill want to give the next speaker and his majority leader.
gets better and better. Just heard through the grapevine that Tracy has been endorsed by Emily’s List. That’s an endorsement that typically brings in some dollars.
Keep up the good work, Tracy. We want this seat back and you’re just the candidate to make that happen.
These numbers aren’t huge compared to what we see in the big federal races, etc., but at this point that’s a really solid haul. Definitely enough to run a serious, winning campaign in the district.
I first became aware of Tracy a month or two before she became the candidate in this race and every time I have had a chance to meet or converse with her, she has impressed me with her thoughtfulness and passion.
And her first-time campaign manager, Chris Rork, is no joke either. I met him when he was a fellow for Obama in ’08 and he’s been busting his butt for his chosen candidates ever since. I know him to be a tireless worker for the people he supports. And if there is a path to victory in this race, he will find a way to get her through it.
I think I’ll go donate a few bucks just for the language in the release. Most people would say “five times,” but I really have to respect an impressive sounding press release.
The single reporting period is impressive, but those come and go timed with major fundraisers. The fact that she’s raised more than Ramirez did in all of 2010 is what really struck me — both parties are going to have to start making the hard decisions about what to fund and what not to soon, and Ramirez is starting to look like the weakest link.
I know TKT been a prolific fundraiser for awhile now, but the campaign seems to have kicked it up a notch lately in many ways. This is also proof that good staff matters. Congratulations Rork.
She raised more than $5,000 over a two week period, and has a 2-1 advantage with cash on hand? Neat.
What are those numbers?
If she has $6,200 vs. $2,500, then I fail to see any real news here…
What I’m getting at, is if you want us to be impressed, you might consider putting forth a bit more info, as I currently have more questions than had I not read this post. Or you could link to a source?
This post, as it is now, is really not up to par for Pol’s front page.
TKT has raised $43,431.57 total vs $28,432.51 raised by Ramirez. TKT has $31,452.69 cash on hand versus $13,114.63 by Ramirez ($5k of which was brought over from the last campaign.)
Cash on hand well over $30k — not bad for a House race, and the incumbent can’t raise to save his rear end, so I think that’s a story. But write a better diary and I’ll be glad to FP it 🙂
I commented “If you are having coffee with me, that means you’ve already talked to everyone important.”
She had.
She is an incredibly hard campaigner and very smart. She will be a leader very quickly. For my own selfish reasons I’d like to see her on Judiciary, but she will probably end up on Health and Environment.
When I look at the recruiting class for the Democrats, she is one of the strongest out of a very strong group.
I met Tracy several years ago and was struck by her intellect, humor, long range planning capabilities, and attention to detail. I’ve observed her tenacity as well as her composure.
I’ve compared and contrasted Tracy and the incumbent.
Tracy has capability as well as credentials. I can find none for the incumbent. Tracy not only has earned her law degree, but has demonstrated her ability to navigate technical policy issues while running a number of programs in Jefferson County on behalf of our at risk neighbors.
I’ve seen Tracy follow up with contacts made to her soon-to-be constituents and actually achieve positive outcomes for them. I’ve personally tried to contact the incumbent and never received any acknowledgement that my inquiries were even received much less considered.
I have not only watched, but participated in Tracy’s outreach to the community. Tracy comprehends the necessity of teaching others what she has been doing so they too can participate and become part of a living, working community. She doesn’t merely ask us for our votes, she asks us to come along with her to make sure opportunity and access are there for us and our families, and neighbors.
Finally, I’ve witnessed Tracy’s scrutiny of both fiscal and physical assets placed under her stewardship. She studies, measures, and directs assets with a fiduciary balance between investing and preserving. Tracy’s fundraising success, along with her cash on hand are testament to her caliber of financial competence versus that of the incumbent.
