Local Dems double up on Mesa County Republicans

By Mike Saccone | Wednesday, July 23, 2008, 06:20 AM

As of July 17, the Mesa County Democratic Party has out-fundraised its GOP peer committee, leaving it with a two-to-one cash on-hand advantage, according to recently filed campaign finance reports.

Granted we are not yet into campaign season, the Mesa County Democratic Party’s numbers are steep, indeed.

According to its report, covering Oct. 28 to July 17, the committee took in $31,228 ($3,690 of which was not itemized) and spent $25,169, leaving the local party with $20,942 in cash on-hand.

The Mesa County Republican Party, on the other hand, took in $26,424 ($10,113 of which was not itemized) and spent $19,727, leaving the local branch of the GOP with $10,053 in cash on-hand.

Though the disparity between the parties is not indicative of what’s to come for either side, it certainly is worth noting.
