2024 Primary campaign finances

When in doubt, follow the money

By Boulder Weekly Staff - Jun. 3, 2024

All told, candidates themselves have raised just over $1 million across 13 separate races (although interest group spending has been considerably higher; read about that here). In uncontested primaries and more competitive districts, the serious spending will likely happen as we draw closer to November’s general election.

Here’s how much money each candidate's committee has raised as of June 17 (listed in the order they appear on ballots).
