As the election heads into the home stretch, Democrats are outraising and outspending Republicans in Lakewood's House Districts 23 and 28 races.
Examining the campaign finance reports in September gives a window into the large gaps in spending and raising between the candidates.
In the HD23 race between Democrat Chris Kennedy and Republican Chris Hadsall, Kennedy has considerably more money to work with than Hadsall. Going into September, Kennedy had $67,698.48 to Hadsall's $9,440.94.
From Sept. 1 through 14, Kennedy received $9,113 in contributions and spent $27,801.35. Then from Sept. 15 through 28, he received $22,385 and spent $17,353.61. In contrast, Hadsall received $8,180 in contribution and spent $3,127.24 in September's first two weeks, and received $1,760 and spent $2,652.31 in September's final two weeks.
The largest donation to Kennedy's campaign in September came from the Colorado Democratic Party, which donated $4,800. This donation brought the total amount they've donated to Kennedy's campaign to $15,488.
Other large donations came from the One Colorado Small Donor Committee which donated $2,100 and the Jefferson County Education Association Small Donor Committee, the Aurora Council for Teachers and Students and the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association Small Donor Committee, all of which donated $2,000 each.
The largest donation to Hadsall's campaign came from the Realtor Small Donor Committee, which donated $2,000. The AT&T Colorado Employee PAC, Colorado Business PAC, Colorado Medical PAC, and Associated Builders and Contractors Rocky Mountain Chapter PAC are among the 12 PACs that donated $400 each to Hadsall's campaign.
Most of the money Kennedy spent went to Mad Dog Mail for advertising and ADP Employee Services. He spent $29,884.16 at Mad Dog and $7,183.57 at ADP.
Hadsall's spending was largely divided between Facebook for advertising and Get Found Fast digital marketing. He spent $2,985.41 at Facebook and $2,044.58 at Get Found Fast.
In the HD28 race between Democrat incumbent Brittany Pettersen and Republican challenger Nancy Pallozzi, Pettersen's campaign is dwarfing her challenger. Going into September, Pettersen had $61,782.35 to Pallozzi's $2,303.15.
From Sept. 1 through 14, Pettersen raised $9,270 and spent $19,202.25. Then from Sept. 15 through 28, she raised $16,540 and spent $28,744.24. Pallozzi, on the other hand, raised $550 and spent $214.88 in the first two weeks of September and did not raise any money and spent $146.20 in the month's final two weeks.
Like Kennedy, Pettersen's largest contribution came from the Colorado Democratic Party, which donated $4,800. This donation brought their total contribution to her campaign to $14,800.
Other large donations came from the One Colorado Small Donor Committee, which donated $2,100, the Voices for Choice Small Donor Committee, which donated $1,600, and Boulder Valley Education Association Small Donor Committee, the Jefferson County Education Association Small Donor Committee, Colorado Trial Lawyers Association Small Donor Committee and SEIU (Service Employees International Union) Local No. 105 Small Donor Committee for Working Families, all of which donated $1,000 each.
The largest donation to Pallozzi's campaign came from the Jefferson County Republican Women organization, which donated $200.
The bulk of Pettersen's spending went to Mad Dog Mail for advertising, where she spent $36,554.40.
Pallozzi's largest expenditure during September was $179.88 to GoDaddy for advertising.
