Critics of Republican Representative Lauren Boebert had something to celebrate on Thursday.

Boebert's political rival, Adam Frisch, raised $3.4 million for his campaign in the third quarter of 2023, ratcheting up his cash on hand to $4.3 million. The fundraising was backed by more than 100,000 donations with an average of $32, according to a press release from his campaign. The announcement comes after Frisch outpaced Boebert's fundraising 3-to-1 in the second quarter, when Boebert raised $818,000 to Frisch's more than $2.6 million.

This doesn't take into account how close he came to beating her in the last election. Or, at least there's no mention of it in your comment which suggests that it wasn't taken into account.

I'm not sure what's confusing about this: He didn't beat her. The people who voted for her that time are mostly still alive. He has an uphill battle.
