Republican Victor Marx has appeared to keep up with Democrat Phil Weiser in the cash race for Colorado governor — but a much higher spending rate, mostly going to more fundraising mail, has left Marx with a notably lighter war chest heading into the campaign’s home stretch. According to the Greeley Tribune, less than a month before ballots start arriving in mailboxes , Marx this week reported having about $215,000 in the bank. Weiser, the state’s attorney general, reported about $827,000 in his campaign account. But Weiser spent less than half of his haul — about $229,000. Marx, meanwhile, spent almost 90% of his new fundraising, or more than $551,000. More than half of the total — almost $335,000 — went to a direct-mail fundraising company.
