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.
