DENVER — Construction CEO Joe O’Dea has topped $1 million in how much he’s loaned or directly contributed to his campaign for U.S. Senate, adding another contrast to his race against poorly monied rival state Rep. Ron Hanks.
In total, O’Dea reported raising about $384,000 in the final regular federal financial disclosure before the June 28 primary. That is in addition to the $500,000 loan he made to his campaign in the last two months. He reported about $1 million on hand going into the final stretch of the primary campaign. The report covers April 1 through June 8.
Hanks, meanwhile, reports having raised a fraction of O’Dea’s haul — just shy of $90,000 in total contributions throughout his entire campaign, and another about $35,000 loaned to his campaign. He entered the final weeks with about $20,400 in cash on hand.
But the campaign finance reports don’t tell the whole story in a race recently marked by outside, anonymous funding to boost Hanks and a Democrat-aligned super PAC spending close to $1 million warning voters in the conservative party’s primary how conservative he is.
And, as Hanks proudly notes, the race winnowed to two when he ignited the party faithful at the state assembly and cleared all other challengers from the primary with a speech where he baselessly declared former President Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 election. Meanwhile, O’Dea’s campaign gathering signatures to make the ballot and he’s aimed for a more economics-driven message that ties the Democratic incumbent to President Joe Biden.
They are each hoping to take on U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, this November. Despite facing no primary challenger in his bid for a third full term, Bennet outraised them both with nearly $1.9 million in net contributions. He starts the summer with nearly $7 million in the bank.
