Out-of-State Pockets

UPDATE: In taking a closer look at the reports done by Political Money Line, the overall financing numbers don’t appear to add up correctly when they are broken down by state donors. It doesn’t look like their figures are entirely accurate, so take the numbers below with a grain of salt.

Republican Marc Holtzman has made several forays out-of-state as he raises money for his gubernatorial run – an effort that he says is necessary for successful fundraising. It’s hard to argue with the results, as Holtzman has raised more money thus far than every other candidate by a wide margin.

But Holtzman has not avoided criticism for his out-of-state fundraising, and that got us thinking…how uncommon is it to raise a big chunk of money from out-of-state donors?

A quick examination of fundraising reports at Political Money Line shows some surprising results. Among Colorado’s seven congressman, Holtzman’s chief opponent for the GOP nomination – Bob Beauprez – raised 82% of his money prior to his 2004 re-election campaign from out-of-state donors. In fact, the only other Colorado Representative to even reach 50% was Tom Tancredo, who gets a large chunk of his campaign contributions from anti-immigration donors nationwide.

Here’s the list:

2004 Campaign Cycle
In-State vs. Out-of-State Campaign Contributions

Bob Beauprez
82% out-of-state
18% Colorado

Tom Tancredo
50% out-of-state
50% Colorado

Marilyn Musgrave
41% out-of-state
59% Colorado

Mark Udall
31% out-of-state
69% Colorado

John Salazar
30% out-of-state
70% Colorado

Diana DeGette
23% out-of-state
77% Colorado

Joel Hefley
16% out-of-state
84% Colorado
