Incumbent Colorado Springs City Council member David Geislinger has a battle on his hands, according to campaign finance reports due Feb. 15, which also suggest Republican politics will play a role.
Two of the three candidates trying to unseat Geislinger have raised more money by far than Geislinger. The other, Dave Noblitt, has raised $7,260 â $5,000 from the Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters Political Action Committee â and spent $6,363, leaving him with $897 on hand.Â
Geislinger has raised $3,254, compared to Randy Helms $11,361 and Jay Inman s $7,233.
Helms got a $5,000 boost from Gary Erickson, developer of Polaris Pointe, while Inman gave his campaign $10,000 and also received $100 from former Republican state representative Gordon Klingenschmitt.
Three weeks after Colorado Springs-area restaurants were allowed to reopen their dining rooms at 25% seating capacity, some have kept their doors closed.
Sure, 25% capacity is better than nothing for many restaurants and allows them to generate additional revenue beyond what some were eking out from curbside and delivery service.
But for others, a quarter of their dining room customers isn’t worth turning on the lights, firing up the ovens and bringing back employees especially with lingering uncertainty about whether the COVID-19 pandemic could force another full-scale closure.
“We are still hopeful to reopen once we feel like we’re in the clear,” said Dave Lavin of Fargo’s Pizza in Colorado Springs, whose wife, Paula, and brother-in-law, Evan Gardner, compose the restaurant’s ownership.
