COLORADO UNFILTERED: We pulled
@SenatorBennet
latest campaign finance report straight from TRACER. Not from a campaign press release. Not from a consultant. Not from a guy whose cousin knows a guy.

Before anyone comments, yes this a long post. If you don’t want to read it keep scrolling.

The actual filing his campaign submitted.

And folks… there are some things worth talking about.

First, a quick refresher. Colorado’s contribution limit for a gubernatorial primary is $1,450 per donor.

It’s not a complicated rule. It’s not written in ancient Sumerian. It’s pretty straightforward.

So naturally…

ONE DONOR GAVE $2,175 IN A SINGLE DAY.

Kranti Kilaru of Centennial cut a $1,450 check and a second $725 check on the exact same day.

Total: $2,175.

That’s $725 over the limit.

Employer listed? “NOT EMPLOYED.”

Nothing says “totally normal campaign filing” quite like a contribution over the legal limit from someone listed as unemployed.

But wait, there’s more.

When you add previous reporting periods, at least 14 donors appear to be over the contribution cap entirely.

Amy Moritz: $2,900.
Cynthia Snell: $2,900.
Bruce Holland: $2,450.
Judd Miner: $2,175.

Apparently some people think campaign finance limits work like your Netflix password. Just keep using it until somebody notices.

Then we get to employer disclosures.

Colorado law requires employer information for contributions over $20.

Yet 33 donations of $500 or more show no employer information.

Nine of those are max donations.

Just a $1,450 check floating through the universe with no occupation attached.

Totally not something auditors love asking questions about.

Now let’s talk geography.

Nearly 27% of Bennet’s itemized contributions came from outside Colorado.

Texas.
Maryland.
Pennsylvania.
New York.

Look, people can donate from wherever they want.

But it’s a little funny when a Colorado governor’s campaign starts looking like a frequent flyer program.

And then we found my favorite entry in the entire report.

A $3,000 rent payment to a company called:

“AMACON GHOST CORPORATION.”

I am not making that up.

That is literally what the filing says.

Could be completely legitimate.

Could be nothing.

Could also sound like the villain from a Scooby-Doo episode.

We’re looking into it.

To be fair, Bennet’s filing isn’t a complete dumpster fire.

Zero missing ZIP codes.
Zero uncategorized spending.
No relatives on payroll.
No vendors accidentally listed in Wyoming when they’re actually in Colorado.

Compared to some filings we’ve reviewed, this one is relatively clean.

But “relatively clean” and “clean” are two different things.

We’re pulling reports on every major candidate.

Republican.
Democrat.
Independent.

Same standard.
Same questions.
No sacred cows.

Because if you’re asking Colorado voters to trust you with a $40+ billion state budget, your campaign books should probably survive a guy with a laptop and too much coffee.
