Morgan Carroll Raises $377k, Answers First Challenge in CD-6

  • 9 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
Rep. Mike Coffman (R) Sen. Morgan Carroll (D).
Rep. Mike Coffman (R), and Sen. Morgan Carroll (D) appear to be locked in a close race after their first comparable fundraising periods.

State Sen. Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) announced today that her campaign for Congress in CD-6 had raised more than $377,000 in her first fundraising quarter.

Incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) announced last week that his campaign had brought in $475,000 in Q3. Coffman’s fundraising quarter was impressive on its own, but remember that he was coming off a Q2 fundraising period that was his worst in 4 years.

If you consider Coffman’s last two fundraising quarters — when Carroll was already considered the likely Democratic nominee — Coffman averages about $373,081 in each reporting period. Carroll’s $377k in her first official fundraising period puts her right in line with Coffman at this stage in the race, though Coffman has more cash on hand because of his incumbency.

Full press release from Carroll’s campaign after the jump…

In her first quarter filed as a challenger, Morgan Carroll released impressive 3rd quarter fundraising numbers.  Here is a summary of the numbers:

 

  • o   Morgan Carroll raised over $377,000.
  • o   She received support from over 1,400 individual donors.
  • o   99% of the contributions were from individuals.
  • o   Over 75% of donors were local from Colorado.
  • o   The average contribution amount was $172.00.

 

Morgan Carroll made the following statement:

“I am pleased that we were able to surpass our goal and have such a strong outpouring of support from the 6th Congressional District and across Colorado.  People are frustrated with the dysfunctional GOP leadership in Congress and know they deserve responsible leadership and real results.”

    1. Hopefully.  Carroll shouldn't get a House seat simply for her continued stymying of construction deficit legislation in Colorado while in the state legislature.  So nice that home ownership has been denied for thousands of prospective homeowners while keeping the trial lawyer lobby well fed.

      Now if only Coffman could actually take some of his extensive Marine Corp experience and actually lead instead of being a mealy-mouthed sheeple…

    1. Like Udall, Romanoff lost with a lousy campaign. I agree that the money will have to come pouring in big time with tons of party targeting support for Carroll to win but if it does, she'll make much better use of it than Romanoff did.

      Also, one thing she has to do that Romanoff failed to do is to start aggressively wooing all the various minority communities of Aurora early on. She has to focus in on getting with all the minority community and business organizations right off the bat.  She needs to show strength as a viable challenger early, both in funding and polling numbers, to get the targeting she'll need and get it in time.

      Coffman can count on getting huge amounts to defend the seat if he needs it. Small and even larger donors at house parties and meet the candidate coffees alone aren't going to do it for any challenger to an established multi-term incumbent. Not even one as lame and dull witted as Coffman and not even in a competitive district.

      Yes the reconfigured CD6 is more competitive than it was when he was first elected but he's now a repeat incumbent in the new one too and repeat incumbents are very hard to shake loose absent a nice fat scandal. If it's doable at all, nobody should kid themselves that it's going to be easy. I do think, best case scenario on all fronts, it can be done and is well worth giving it a best effort.
