Haul is the most raised in a quarter by a Colorado Senate candidate
Today, John Hickenlooper announced that his campaign for United States Senate raised $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, the most ever for a Colorado Senate candidate in any quarter. The campaign will also report $4.6 million cash on hand as of June 30.
The average grassroots contribution to the campaign during this period was $23.50, and 95% of the donations were under $200. Among the campaign’s 48,400 Q2 donors are 909 teachers, 192 scientists, an astrologer, and even a traveling wind technician.
“This campaign is only made possible by the strong support of our grassroots army,” said Hickenlooper. “We will need every bit of grassroots help as the Republican cavalry comes in to try to save Senator Cory Gardner with millions of dark money and corporate PAC dollars. But Mitch McConnell and his friends can’t change one simple fact: Senator Gardner has sided with Trump 100% of the time and failed to be the independent voice he promised Coloradans he’d be. We need a change in Washington, and with the backing of our grassroots donors and volunteers we’re going to deliver that change in November.”
