Democrat – who is running against Boebert to represent Colorado's 4th Congressional District – recently sent out an email notifying supporters that she managed to raise over $2.68 million in the third quarter of the year – which spans from July to September – and currently has over $1.3 million in cash on hand.

The wildly impressive haul came from 142,000 contributions, 63,000 of which were unique donors, who contributed an average of $19 per donation.

According to , Boebert didn't fare nearly as well, as she only pulled in around $532,000 for the quarter, coming out with $548,000 on hand.

Overall, Calvarese managed to raise five times more than Boebert, but the Democrat still has an uphill battle ahead of her, as the district is considered a safe bet for Republicans.

But if Democrats succeed in flipping the seat, it could bring them one step closer to taking the majority in the House in November.

Though voters in the district haven't elected a Democrat since 2008, Calvarese believes that internal polls showing her "within striking distance" of Boebert and her demonstrate that she has a clear path to victory.
