The reports cover money raised and spent from July 1 through Sept. 30. One more pre-election filing is due before Election Day, giving voters another look at campaign finances as candidates compete for attention and advertising time.

The largest quarterly haul among the challengers came from Manny Rutinel, the Democrat seeking to unseat Republican Rep. Gabe Evans in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District. Rutinel raised $4.2 million and spent $3 million, including $1.6 million on television ads. He began October with $1.8 million in campaign funds. Evans raised just over $1.5 million and spent more than $2.6 million, but had $2.7 million left — nearly $1 million more than Rutinel.

The 8th District, the state’s only congressional race designated a toss-up, includes northern Denver suburbs such as Commerce City and Thornton and extends to Greeley.

In the 4th District, Democrat Eileen Laubacher raised nearly $2.7 million and spent almost $3 million, ending the quarter with $3.3 million on hand. Her spending included nearly $1.1 million on television, radio and digital media buys, plus close to $500,000 on digital ads. Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert raised about $153,000 and spent roughly $165,000, leaving her with just over $235,000.

The district covers much of the Eastern Plains and parts of the Front Range. Despite Laubacher’s fundraising advantage, past Democratic fundraising success against Boebert has not translated into electoral victories for the party.

In the 5th District, Democrat Jessica Killin raised more than $1.8 million, including $125,000 of her own money, and spent nearly $2.7 million. She entered October with just over $702,000. Republican Rep. Jeff Crank raised about $607,000 and spent just over $1 million, but had slightly more than $1 million remaining. The district, centered on El Paso County, has never elected a Democrat, though it has moved toward Democrats in recent presidential elections.

Democrat Dwayne Romero raised about $823,000 in his bid to unseat Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd in the 3rd District. Romero loaned his campaign $110,000 during the quarter, bringing his total loans to $460,000, and had about $262,000 on hand after spending roughly $645,000. Hurd raised about $465,000, spent more than $1.3 million and retained just over $925,000. The sprawling district covers much of the Western Slope and southern Colorado.

Among Democratic incumbents, Rep. Joe Neguse raised just over $525,000 and had more than $3.2 million on hand. Rep. Jason Crow raised more than $671,000 and entered October with nearly $2.9 million. Their Republican challengers, Kelley Dennison and Jason Clark, respectively, had not filed reports by the deadline. Campaigns are required to file when they raise or spend more than $5,000.

Rep. Brittany Pettersen raised nearly $350,000 and had almost $1.2 million on hand. Republican challenger Tim Bennett raised just over $38,800 and had slightly less than $12,000 remaining.

In the Democratic stronghold of the 1st District, nominee Melat Kiros raised about $192,000 and spent $221,000, leaving just under $100,000. Republican challenger Christy Petersen reported raising $5,128 and spending about $1,186. Independent candidate Shimon Blau raised about $160,000, supplemented by a $25,000 personal loan, and had nearly $65,000 remaining after spending about $120,000.

In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper raised just over $1.2 million and had more than $2.3 million on hand. Republican challenger Mark Baisley’s filing showed no money raised or spent; his campaign said the report contained an error and that it planned to refile. Baisley began July with about $26,280 in cash, according to the filing.

Independent candidate Bob Chew reported raising more than $1.58 million, most of it a $1.55 million contribution to his own campaign. He spent $2.4 million and had about $183,000 remaining. Sen. Michael Bennet, who is not up for reelection until 2028, reported raising $12,473 and ending the quarter with about $193,000.

The filings show the scale of candidates’ fundraising and remaining resources, but they do not determine how voters will cast their ballots. Campaigns will have another opportunity to report their finances before Election Day.
