CITY UPDATES FUNDRAISING NUMBERS; HANSEN BUMPS ORTEGA FROM TOP FIVE
DENVER, CO -- On Wednesday, the Denver Clerk & Recorder’s office posted updated fundraising numbers to the official campaign finance portal. The new numbers put Hansen firmly in the top five contenders seeking the job.
The candidate raised $259,000 in the last six weeks of 2022, including Fair Elections Fund disbursements, and says that fundraising has continued picking up pace in the new year.
“We feel good about our fast start in the first 6 weeks of this campaign,” Hansen said, “and we are only picking up speed!”
The median donation to Hansen’s campaign has been $50. Of the non-self-funding candidates in the top tier, Hansen has raised by far the largest percentage of in-city money: more than 75% of the campaign’s donors are from Denver.
“The vote of confidence means a lot,” Hansen said of the support he has received from Denver donors. “Most of these folks aren’t business owners or politicians. They’re just everyday Denverites. And every dollar that comes through the door helps us reach more of our neighbors with this campaign’s message of a safer, more affordable, more livable Denver.”
“It is clear that Chris’ message of moving on from the status quo and actually getting to work solving Denver’s problems is resonating. We are confident that we’ll be able to continue to communicate our message to voters,” said Parker Butterworth, Chris Hansen for Denver Mayor campaign manager.
