But while the flow of donations to Allen's campaign has slowed since the congressman's offhand remark, it certainly hasn't stopped. The first-time candidate, a 63-year-old Cottonwood Heights resident, reported $564,000 in fundraising to the Federal Election Commission at the end of the first quarter in March. In the three months since then, after Chaffetz's announcement that he'd step down early, Allen has raised about another $100,000.
