WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey, D-Colo., raised $505,000 in the first quarter of the year, according to figures released by her staff Sunday.
Of that, about $355,000 came into the campaign after Markey’s announcement March 17 that she would switch her vote to “yes” on President Barack Obama’s health-care bill, The Washington Post reported Sunday.
Advisers to state Rep. Cory Gardner, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, said they were not prepared to release their entire first-quarter numbers yet and predicted that the incumbent would raise more money in the quarter.
Political insiders will be looking closely at the gap between the two, the Post said.
