Rougeot said he has raised $25,000 for his mayoral bid. However, he said he is making a $250,000 commitment to self-finance if needed. This exceeds the current leading campaign in fundraising, which is Thomas Wolf’s at more than $18,000. 

“Whether it was in the U.S. Army, or as the owner of my small maintenance business repairing storage facilities, I’ve always put in the work side-by-side with my fellow soldiers and workers – this campaign will be no different,” Rougeot said in a statement. “I will put in the work, the sweat, and the financial resources necessary to win this race and deliver for the people of Denver.”

There are 11 other candidates in the mayors race. The amount they have reported to the clerks raised up to this date is in parentheses: 

• Thomas Wolf ($18,110.27)
