Evie Hudak's campaign for State Senate District 19 continues to gain momentum as it was announced today that she raised $9,486 from 157 contributors during the 3rd Quarter, for a total of $14,874 raised as of September 30. The campaign was kicked off in late May. Her strong fundraising sends a clear message that she has the support to bring the same kind of leadership to the State Senate that she has shown on the State Board of Education.
"I am delighted that Evie is running," said Rebecca McLeish, a contributor who lives in the district. "I can't think of a better person to replace our [term-limited] State Senator Sue Windels."
Hudak has been endorsed by many Colorado leaders, including Senator Sue Windels, Congressman Ed Perlmutter, House Majority Leader Alice Madden, Former Governor Roy Romer, Former State Treasurer and Lt. Governor Gail Schoettler, and numerous other state legislators, local officials, and district residents.
Over 70 percent of the contributions to Hudak's campaign were $50 or less. "I am touched and humbled to have so many people reach into their pockets and give what they can afford," said Hudak. "I promise to honor their faith in me by working on the issues that matter most to the people of Arvada and Westminster and helping to keep Colorado a great place to live."
