Another Big Haul For Romanoff: $600,000 in Q1

Andrew Romanoff.

A press release from Democratic CD-6 candidate Andrew Romanoff moments ago:

Andrew Romanoff, candidate for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, raised $603,520 in the first quarter of 2014, bringing his total contributions to more than $2.6 million. Romanoff ended the quarter with nearly $2.1 million in cash on hand.

Romanoff recorded his strongest fundraising period to date. FEC reports indicate he has now outpaced every other House challenger in Colorado history.

“Coloradans want to grow the economy and strengthen the middle class,” Romanoff said. “That means creating clean-energy jobs, making college more affordable, ensuring equal pay for equal work – exactly the kind of priorities I’ll pursue in Congress.”

Romanoff does not accept contributions from special-interest groups. His support reflects a broad cross-section of Coloradans:

The campaign has received contributions from 10,043 supporters to date, including 4,020 donors in the first quarter of 2014.
More than 91 percent of the campaign’s first-quarter donors live in Colorado.
More than 84 percent of the campaign’s first-quarter contributions were $100 or less.
The campaign has raised $2,607,982 to date and ended the first quarter with $2,098,619 on hand.

We haven't heard from GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman, widely known as a fundraising powerhouse, but Romanoff beat Coffman in the final two quarters last year–a momentum-changing development all by itself that this latest strong performance will only reinforce. It's worth restating how Romanoff's strong fundraising comes despite self-imposed handicaps we ourselves have criticized, and is even more impressive as a result.

We'll update when we hear from Coffman, who won't do himself any favors by coming in second again.

  2. What?! I thought our priorities were praying to the 1%, sucking the last drop of oil from the dirt, keeping science out of the classroom and insuring that women are barefoot and pregnant.  That's why we elected Coffman in the first place, right?

        1. Ralphie, I saw that (lack of) Obamacare horror story, too. How sad – and what a waste. And probably completely preventable.

          When do you think Fox News and all the rightie sites will carry this story?sad

        2. Maybe Gov. Scott figured there was nothing left from medicaid and medicare for the poor, after he picked it clean.  From his wiki page:

           

          Born in Bloomington, Illinois, Scott is the graduate of the University of Missouri, Kansas City, later receiving his law degree from Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law. He served in the United States Navy before starting his business career, joining the Dallas firm Johnson & Swanson, where he became partner. In 1987, at age 34, he co-founded Columbia Hospital Corporation with two business partners; this merged with Hospital Corporation of America in 1989 to form Columbia/HCA and eventually became the largest private for-profit health care company in the U.S.

          He resigned as Chief Executive of Columbia/HCA in 1997 amid a controversy over the company's business and Medicare billing practices; the company ultimately admitted to fourteen felonies and agreed to pay the federal government over $600 million, which was the largest fraud settlement in US history; Scott however was not implicated and no charges were raised against him personally.[3][4][5][6][7] Scott later became a venture capitalist.

           

          What a guy.  Fuck the poor, I got mine !

  3. I believe it was Mod who asked the other day about money being "bad" according to liberals. This is an example of solid grassroots money. 91% from Colorado. 84% under $100.

    This is the kind of support that drove Obama to victory, and I'm glad to see that Romanoff has somehow captured that for his district.

    1. Eh, home ownership isn't all it's cracked up to be.  Besides, he'll need to rent a place in DC soon 'cuz that's where he'll be spending >50% of his time next year 🙂
