Buescher tops 2006 fundraising; Bradford falls behind Caskey

By Mike Saccone | Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 03:10 PM

Democratic Grand Junction state Rep. Bernie Buescher has managed to top his 2006 fundraising efforts thus far this year while his opponent has not managed to eclipse the two-term lawmaker’s 2006 opponent.

According to a Political Notebook analysis of campaign finance data from January through mid-September of 2006 and 2008, Buescher has taken in $125,154 as of Sept. 10 compared to $57,610 two years ago.

Buescher’s opponent, Laura Bradford has accepted $22,034 worth of contributions during the same time period, compared to the $25,282 Bob Caskey collected in 2006.

Here are the month-to-month, side-by-side comparisons from our research:
