Ryan Frazier, one of the crop of strong African-American Republican candidates I spoke to for this piece, out-fundraised Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) in the final quarter of 2009. According to Federal Election Commission reports, Frazier–who switched from a Senate run to a House bid late last year — snared $218,824in contributions, while Perlmutter raised $215,201.
It’s a photo finish, but a sign that Perlmutter — re-elected last year by 26 points in a district that President Obama carried by 19 points — has a fight on his hands. His 2008 opponent John Lerew spent only $37,121 on his entire bid.
