Dr. Kathryn Allen, candidate for Utah, 3rd Congressional District against Chaffetz has now received $205,000 in her Crowdpac.com campaign. In addition she has received 878 endorsements and over 5375 donations. When Rachel Maddow plugged her potential campaign at 9:55 PM EST she hadn’t cracked $100,000 yet.
All of this fundraising is essential. Chaffetz at the end of the 2016 campaign had a war chest of $400,000 so these funds are essential to have any chance at getting her name out to the electorate.
Going to Ballotpedia ballotpedia.org/… one can see that he won last year by getting 209,589 votes to the Democratic candidate’s 75,716. However, what is more hopeful to Dr. Kathy is that during the midterm election of 2014 he only received 102,952 votes to the Democratic candidate’s 32,059. That is one reason why relatively unknown candidates have such a better chance during the upcoming midterm election.
