Adam Frisch, a Democratic challenger to U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, once again topped himself in fundraising as he seeks a rematch to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, bringing in nearly $3.4 million in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The latest campaign reporting period covers July 1 through Sept. 30. Frisch’s Thursday fundraising announcement comes after the former Aspen city councilman raised $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 and another $2.6 million in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Frisch, who barely lost to Boebert in November and faces four competitors for the Democratic nomination in 2024, now has more than $4.3 million on hand.<\/p>\n

Boebert, the hard-right GOP representative for the 3rd District since January 2021, has not yet filed her fundraising numbers for the third quarter. She and other candidates have until Oct. 15 to do so.<\/p>\n

According to Federal Election Commission data, Boebert had $1.4 million in the bank at the end of June. She trailed Frisch in fundraising the first half of the year.<\/p>\n

Political watchers outside Colorado are paying attention to how well Boebert does in the third-quarter money game. The second-term congresswoman made unflattering headlines for herself in recent weeks after her highly publicized ejection from a Denver performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” last month for inappropriate behavior, which included vaping, groping her male companion and recording the performance in violation of the venue’s rules.<\/p>\n

A poll Frisch’s campaign paid for over the summer showed him with a 2-percentage-point advantage over Boebert in a matchup — a statistical tie given the poll’s margin of error, but a result that suggests she’s still vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Boebert faces three Republican opponents in the 2024 primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply humbled by the over 100,000 individual donations that were made to our campaign this quarter to defeat Lauren Boebert,\u201d Frisch said in a statement Thursday. \u201cWestern and Southern Colorado deserve a representative who will work hard to deliver results and put the needs of the district first, not an extreme political agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
