Biographies and policy positions

No candidate in the listed field has a biography on file. There also are no documented policy positions on file for any of the 12 candidates.

For Calvarese, that means the official entries establish her Democratic affiliation, candidacy in CO-4 and listed financial totals, but do not establish where she stands on specific issues. The same limits apply to Galvan, Mangeris, Thornton, Padora, Preston, San Felipe, Boebert, Veldhuizen, Laubacher, Maddox and Phelan.

Reading the financial entries

Seven candidates have entries of $0 raised and $0 spent: Calvarese, Galvan, Mangeris, Thornton, San Felipe, Maddox and Phelan. Five candidates have nonzero fundraising and spending entries: Padora, Preston, Boebert, Veldhuizen and Laubacher.

Preston’s listed amount raised is the same as her listed amount spent. Padora, Boebert, Veldhuizen and Laubacher each list spending below the amount raised. Every candidate lacks a cash-on-hand figure, so the records do not state how much campaign money each candidate currently has. A missing cash-on-hand figure is not the same as a reported balance of $0.
