Coffman takes in just $10,600

Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman raised just $10,600 between July 1 and the end of September for her reelection campaign, while Democrats vying to replace her made sizable hauls.

The small amount adds to the speculation about whether Coffman, a Republican, is planning to run for another term as the state’s top law enforcement officer in 2018 or if she will get in on the already-crowded governor’s race.

No other GOP candidate has filed to run for attorney general.

Phil Weiser, who worked in the Obama administration and is a former dean of the University of Colorado Law School, was the leading fundraiser in the candidate pack. During the last quarter, he reported taking in more than $368,000.

Weiser also has filed five “major contribution” reports for donations of $1,000 or more since Oct. 8, signaling that his contributions are not slowing up.

Amy Padden, a former state and federal prosecutor, raised nearly $70,000 between July and the start of October.

Denver attorney Brad Levin’s campaign raised $65,000 and $22,000 in nonmonetary contributions during the last quarter. Levin also loaned his campaign $100,000.

Michael Dougherty, a Jefferson County prosecutor, took in more than $50,000 during the quarter.

State. Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, reported the lowest take for the second period in a row, raising $20,000.
