Denver, CO – Today, Michael Bennet’s campaign for Colorado governor announced it raised over $1.7 million in the second quarter, setting an off-year record in Colorado. The campaign ends the quarter with more than $1.3 million in cash on hand.

“I’m grateful to everyone who has stepped up to support this campaign,” said Michael Bennet. “This record-breaking fundraising shows the strength of our movement. Together, we are forging the coalition it takes to build a Colorado where working people can get ahead and to show the entire country what leadership and hope look like, at a moment when it couldn’t matter more.”

Michael launched his campaign for governor on April 11th. Since then, more than 130 Colorado leaders have endorsed Michael, and more than 6,400 grassroots donors have joined his campaign. In June, a poll from Global Strategy Group found that Michael holds a commanding 31-point lead over state Attorney General Phil Weiser in the Democratic primary.

Representing Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009, Michael has established himself as an independent leader who delivers tangible results for Colorado. Prior to his time in the Senate, Michael helped improve student achievement as the superintendent of the Denver Public Schools, balance the City of Denver’s budget, and turn around failing businesses in the private sector. Re-elected in 2022 by 15 points, Michael has a record of winning tough elections while staying true to his values and positions.
