A leading Democratic challenger, state Sen. Kerry Donovan, has raised more than $1.1 million since the start of the year, including $457,000 in the second quarter, Colorado Politics reports.

The campaign for Boebert, the first-term representative for the sprawling 3rd Congressional District, provided no details on the latest quarter's totals, including money spent and money saved in the bank.

Earlier this week, Boebert joined former President Donald Trump and other conservative leaders on a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.

She filmed a campaign video at the border wall, with a cardboard cutout of Vice President Kamala Harris.
