John Hickenlooper’s presidential campaign brought in $2 million for the first quarter of the year, finishing the period with $1.33 million in the bank, according to campaign finance reports filed Monday.

The total does little to threaten the former Colorado governor’s status as an underdog in a Democratic primary field boasting 18 announced candidates at last count, nearly all of whom raised more cash than Hickenlooper.

Hickenlooper’s campaign manager struck an upbeat note.

“As this report reflects, the governor has a decisive base of support in Colorado, and his record of results is resonating with supporters across the country,” campaign manager Brad Komar said in a statement.

“This strong early fundraising will allow us to make sure more Americans know about the governor’s pragmatic progressive vision.”

Hickenlooper reported raising half the total he brought in for the fundraising quarter during the 48 hours after he launched his campaign on March 4.

In total, Hickenlooper’s campaign said he received donations from roughly 6,600 individual donors, with 93 percent of them contributing under the donation limit, so they’re able to give again. Around half the donations came from states other than Colorado, and 85 percent were under $200, his campaign said.

Democratic hopefuls weren’t just counting dollars – they were also tabulating donors, because candidates win a spot on stage at the first round of primary debates in June if they receive contributions from 65,000 individuals, including at least 200 different donors from 20 different states.

While Hickenlooper has so far fallen far short of that goal, he appears to have qualified for the debate under another criteria, by scoring at least 1 percent support in at least three designated polls conducted nationally or in early primary states.

According to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission by Monday’s deadline, Hickenlooper out-raised a handful of candidates – including internet sensation Andrew Yang and inspirational author Marianne Williamson – but lagged the field’s more prominent politicians, including a slew of senators.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders reported the largest haul at $18.2 million, followed by California Sen. Kamala Harris with $12 million; former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who raised $9.4 million; and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, with $7.1 million.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren raised $6 million, followed by Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar with $5.2 million, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s $5 million and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand with $3 million.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee also finished ahead of Hickenlooper, taking in $2.2 million.

Trailing Hickenlooper for the period were Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard with $1.9 million, Yang at $1.7 million, Williamson with $1.5 million, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro with $1.1 million.

Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney reported taking in $404,000 on top of the more than $11 million he gave his own campaign. Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, Florida, reported raising $83,745.

Looming over all the Democrats was President Donald Trump, who reported raising $30.3 million for the quarter. 

Michael Bennet, Colorado’s Democratic U.S. senator, has said he plans to join the presidential primary if he gets a clean bill of health after surgery for prostate cancer this month.

At the end of the quarter, Bennet’s Senate campaign committee reported $1.1 million cash on hand, funds available to transfer to a presidential campaign.
