Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch<\/span>cca<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Adam Frisch, Democratic candidate for Republican Rep. Lauren\u2019s House seat in Colorado\u2019s 3rd Congressional District, has raised more than $2.6 million in the second quarter of the year, according to a news release from his campaign, Adam Frisch for Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Frisch said in the news release.<\/p>\n

The average donation amount this quarter was reported to be $32, with more than 81,000 individuals contributing to the campaign. The Federal Election Commission<\/a> reported that Frisch had nearly $2.5 million in cash on hand by June 30, which marked the end of the second quarter. Frisch said he is not accepting donations from corporate PACs, the release stated. Since his campaign launched in February, Frisch has raised $4.4 million.<\/p>\n

Frisch, from Aspen, lost the 2022 election to Boebert, from Silt, by 546 votes, the closest election of the cycle. He has been \u201csteadily building momentum across partisan lines after his near-upset and meeting with voters all across the district to hear their concerns,\u201d the release stated.<\/p>\n

Boebert\u2019s campaign efforts have been less lucrative this cycle. For the second quarter, Boebert raised just over $818,000 total, ending the quarter with just over $1.4 million in cash on hand for her campaign, according to the FEC filing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAspen Adam will learn he and his out-of-state Democrat cronies can\u2019t buy this seat, no matter how hard they try,\u201d Boebert spokesman Jake Settle told The Journal <\/em>in an email. \u201cRural Colorado knows his liberal politics are bad for us and bad for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boebert has introduced 13 pieces of legislation to Congress this term, according to Boebert\u2019s website, boebert.house.gov<\/a>. and Congress.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her Pueblo Jobs Act <\/a>passed the House July 14, making it the third bill to pass the House this term, according to a news release from her office Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bill protects over 1,000 quality jobs in Pueblo County and supports our troops and veterans,\u201d that news release stated.<\/p>\n

The bill was part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which Boebert voted yes on. It provides the military with the biggest pay raise in more than 20 years. Billions of dollars in funding is directed toward initiatives like military child care centers and reducing moving costs for military families.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very proud to see my Pueblo Jobs Act and the NDAA passed by the House today and for our district to soon feel the results of this victory,\u201d Boebert stated.<\/p>\n

According to Boebert\u2019s news release, Frisch announced that he would have voted no on the defense bill and the Pueblo Jobs Act if he were in her position.<\/p>\n

A separate news release Friday announced that Boebert introduced the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery Programs Reauthorization Act, H.R.4596<\/a>, to Congress. This act will \u201cprovide certainty for 1,200 water and power users in Colorado and help recover four threatened and endangered fish species in the Upper Colorado River Basin and the San Juan River Basin.\u201d<\/p>\n

This act has support from Congresswoman Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, as well as from multiple water districts and boards and boards of county commissioners. A House subcommittee is set to hold a hearing on this bill later this month, the news release reported.<\/p>\n

While Boebert isn\u2019t focusing on raising campaign funds, she is focusing on introducing legislation and getting those bills passed this term, as well as holding office hours, visiting Bayfield, Alamosa, and Silverton later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
