Shafroth takes in $280k for 2Q
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter
ShafrothSecond Congressional District Democratic candidate Will Shafroth continued to rake in campaign contributions in the second quarter of 2008, taking in $280,218 for the quarter, his campaign said Wednesday.
That’s a slight improvement over 1Q 2008, when he led all CO-2 candidates by bringing in $279,710 in contributions.
Shafroth ended the second quarter with $735,929.80 cash-on-hand, according to spokesperson Lynea Hansen.
“We are continuing to exceed fundraising expectations but the story is how we’re doing it,” Shafroth said in a statement. “These donations come from everyday people who have made a real commitment to join this campaign and who dare to change Washington by changing the kinds of people we send to Congress.”
The other two Democrats in the CO-2 race, Joan Fitz-Gerald and Jared Polis, have until July 15 to turn in their second-quarter fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission.
