Today, John Hickenlooper announced that his campaign for U.S. Senate raised more than $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Ninety-three percent of contributions the campaign received were $200 or less, and the average grassroots contribution was $26.
This quarterly total sets a record for Senate campaigns in Colorado in the off year. In 2019, Hickenlooper received contributions from each of the state’s 64 counties and $0 from corporate PACs.
Hickenlooper for Colorado heads into the election year with $3.2 million cash on hand.
“Thank you to each and every one of the grassroots donors who stepped up to support our campaign,” said Hickenlooper. “As we head into the election year, these resources will help us to travel across the state and get out our message of bringing change to Washington and bringing people together to actually get things done on the issues that Coloradans care about.”
Contributors to Hickenlooper’s campaign this quarter include 3 brewers, 160 teachers, 62 nurses, 10 farmers, 3 ranchers, 6 firefighters, a cheesemaker, a tango teacher, and a babysitter.
