Overview

  • Rep. Haley Stevens led second-quarter fundraising with $2.5 million in contributions, boosted by a $1.2 million transfer from her House campaign account.
  • State Sen. Mallory McMorrow raised $2.1 million in Q2, fueled by donations from over 28,000 individuals with 88% of contributions under $50.
  • Former health director Abdul El-Sayed raised $1.8 million in the quarter, secured an endorsement from Bernie Sanders and pledged to refuse PAC contributions.
  • An NRSC poll conducted July 4–7 shows Stevens at 24%, El-Sayed at 22% and McMorrow at 11% among likely Democratic primary voters.
  • Republicans have united behind former Rep. Mike Rogers and analysts rate the general election contest for this open Senate seat a toss-up.
