Aurora, CO – Today, Jason Crow, a decorated former Army Ranger, father, veterans’ advocate and candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 6th Congressional District announced that he will report $369,775 in total receipts for the pre-primary report covering April 1st through June 6th. Crow, who has pledged to not accept a dime of corporate PAC money, raised 95% of those funds from individual donors.
Crow will end the reporting period with $921,196 cash on hand. He has raised $1,629,357 to date from nearly 6,000 individual donors.
“I’m humbled by the grassroots support from Coloradans who are ready for new leadership that puts them first,” said Crow. “In the Army, I learned to lead by example.
