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.

Pretty sad that the front runner is determined by how much cash they can get from their supporters.

Imagine if their success was driven by their action.

Oh. I'm sure she could have success. It's just that congress isn't where her actions would be appreciated and monetized.

I dunno. Think the MIWLF scene really generates much money?
