(Worthy News) – This year’s U.S. congressional campaign season is on pace to break fundraising records, driven in part by unprecedented hauls by at least five candidates from both major parties, according to a Reuters analysis of campaign finance disclosures.
Candidates for the House of Representatives have collectively raised $1.2 billion from January 2017 through the end of September, more than the inflation-adjusted $1 billion record set at this point in the 2010 election cycle, according to Federal Election Commission data.
Senate candidates – who have six years to raise funds due to their longer terms – have raised more than $950 million, surpassing the $844 million raised during the same period ahead of the 2010 election. [ Source: Reuters (Read More…) ]
