Democratic gubernatorial challenger Brian King has received thousands of small donations, but his total fundraising sets around $730,000, according to recent campaign filings.Heading into the 2024 legislative session, Gov. Spencer Cox said addressing housing affordability was his top priority.
Commercial and residential real estate interests and construction companies and executives have poured more than $1.5 million into Cox’s campaign, making up a significant chunk of the $7 million dollars he has raised since 2021. The $2,000 threshold was used to narrow the field of more than 2,400 donations the campaign has received since 2021, when Cox was last sworn in. The $2,000 or more threshold still captured $6.7 million of the $6.9 million he has raised in that span — or 96% of his total contributions.
King’s campaign, meanwhile, drew the largest segment of its contributions from the legal community — King, like Cox, is a lawyer — followed by the healthcare field .
