Democratic secretary of state candidate Jena Griswold plans to report raising $58,381 for the just-completed final quarter of 2017, her campaign said, bringing her total fundraising to $144,685 for the year.

For the second quarter running, she’s pulled in more contributions than the last Democrat who ran for the job did, although that candidate lost to Republican incumbent Wayne Williams, who is seeking another term.

Griswold, a 33-year-old attorney making her first run for office, plans to report spending $21,172 for the quarter, leaving $114,537 cash on hand. Her campaign said that 85 percent of her 556 contributors were from Colorado. Her average donation was $105.

Williams, the former El Paso County clerk and recorder, hadn’t filed his 4th Quarter campaign finance report at press time. Through the previous quarter, he brought in $79,606 and had $48,048 on hand. Candidates have until midnight Tuesday to file reports with Williams’ office.

“As a political outsider who has never run for office, I am so proud of the momentum our campaign has built across the state,” Griswold said in a statement. “We are building a coalition of Coloradans who believe our next secretary of state should fight to get big money out of politics, secure our elections from foreign interference and support small businesses and entrepreneurs.”

A campaign spokesman for Williams shrugged off Griswold’s totals and dismissed her claims.

“No matter how desperate Jena is to turn this campaign into a hyper-partisan, political fight – and we get it, that’s her background – Secretary Williams has been focused on doing his job for the people of Colorado,” Justin Prendergast told Colorado Politics. “Voters recognize a steady hand when they see one, and as we enter an election year, we don’t expect much to change.”

Griswold has criticized Williams for handing over state voter data last summer to a controversial White House commission on election fraud – since disbanded – although Williams insists he was merely giving the panel the same voter rolls Colorado law makes available to anyone willing to fork over $50. Thousands of voters – a tiny fraction of the state’s 3.2 million active registered voters – cancelled their registrations during the uproar over the data request.

Democrat Phillip Villard announced in April he was running for the office but hadn’t yet reported any fundraising activity.

It’s been 60 years since a Democrat has been elected secretary of state by Colorado voters – although former Mesa County state lawmaker Bernie Buescher occupied the office for two years starting in 2009, when he was appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter to finish the term of Mike Coffman after the Aurora Republican was elected to Congress.

Four years ago, Democrat Joe Neguse, a former University of Colorado regent, out-raised Williams by more than 2-to-1 – ultimately hauling in $572,454 to Williams’ $278,905 – but lost by just over 2 points in what turned out to be a Republican-wave year at the ballot box. Neguse is one of three Democrats running in a primary for the 2nd Congressional District seat held by U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, who is running for governor.
