Boebert Democratic challenger sets multi-million dollar fundraising record
The Democrat who almost beat U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has just set a multi-million dollar fundraising record after announcing he will again challenge the Colorado GOP congresswoman in 2024.
Businessman Adam Frisch, who lost to Boebert last year by a mere 546 votes, says he has raised over $2.6 million in the second quarter alone, “shattering the record for the largest quarterly fundraising for a U.S. House challenger in the year before an election, excluding special elections and self-funded campaigns.”
In a press release Frisch thanked his supporters: “I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every single person who has donated to this campaign to give the people of Southern and Western Colorado a representative who will take the job seriously and work across the aisle to find solutions to the problems facing this district.”
“Boebert continues to vote against the interests of her constituents while devoting her time to ‘angertainment’ antics that do nothing to help CO-3. We can do better than Boebert, and thanks to our generous supporters, we will defeat her in 2024.”
Colorado’s 3rd district hasn’t sent a Democrat to Congress since 2008.
Colorado Politics reports Frisch’s loss in 2022 was “the closest House race in the country,” and adds that he “has raised a total of $4.4 million from nearly 85,000 individual donors since launching his bid for a rematch in February. In the quarter ending June 30, his campaign received more than 81,000 donations averaging $32, his campaign said.”
On his campaign website Frisch lists issues of importance to Coloradans, including water, energy, agriculture, jobs, and women’s healthcare. He supports a woman’s right to choose.
Last month Boebert attacked “Frisch’s father and sister, for their history as OB-GYNs,” the Colorado Times Recorder reported. “’Abortions paid for Adam’s privileged childhood and private schooling, and abortionists help fund his campaign,’ Boebert was quoted as saying in a Fox News article.”
