"Adam Frisch anticipates logging around 70,000 miles of driving by the time his campaign for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District is over — about 128 miles for every vote he lost by in 2022.
Frisch, a Democrat who previously served on Aspen City Council, lost a narrow race against Lauren Boebert last time around. In February 2023, he officially signed up for a rematch, only to lose his foil at the end of the year when Boebert chose to leave for a safer Republican seat.
Jeff Hurd is now the Republican nominee, but Frisch says his campaign was not anti-Boebert, but rather pro-Western and Southern Colorado.
“People are really sick of this lack of authenticity and sincerity and transparency,” Frisch said, “and one of the reasons that we've been able to connect so well is because we show up.”
In recent months, Frisch has been touting his support for abortion care, including his multiple family members who worked as obstetricians. He told Colorado Matters he’s concerned about climate change, but doesn’t want to shut off Colorado energy and that most of the residents he speaks with are concerned about losing access to rural hospitals."
This race got downgraded to likely R. I live in CO-5 today and wish there were efforts being put in place here.
El Paso County, home to Colorado Springs, now casts more votes than Denver. I’ve seen no signs for either Harris or the Democratic candidate in CO-5. There seems to be no efforts here.
No campaign has called me as part of GOTV efforts. No one has knocked on my door. It’s like the CO Democratic Party is nonexistent here.
Sorry to hear that. I don't think Harris will campaign much in what has to be a safe Democratic state for her to have a chance to win, but local folks should be getting in touch with you.
Harris won't be in Colorado(nor should she); have you contacted your local or state party??; what's your local slate like? Competitive races?? Thanks..just curious as to the ground
I would really be surprised if either the state party or county DEC didn't mail out some type of democratic slate card or some type of gotv reminder call to you
"Crank reported $208,000 in donations in the most recent fundraising period, versus $79,000 for Williams. Those totals were collected before Williams sent out an email to party members disparaging the LBGT community, which has led several county GOP party heads in Colorado to demand he resign.
The two Democrats in the 5th District primary — River Gassen and Joe Reagan — together collected about half of what Williams reported in donations. The district is a Republican stronghold centered on El Paso County."
Agreeing that the CDP can spend more time here Gassen is not running like a competitive candidate regardless. See if she picks up the pace in Q3.
CO-03 Colorado Public Radio conducted an interview with Adam Frisch that I caught most of on my way home from the gym last night.

I can’t volunteer due to the Hatch Act.

They haven’t yet. Last cycle, though, I got an anti-LBGTQ flyer attacking trans children in Spanish.
Not from the Democratic party; lol
