Cortez Masto has significant fundraising edge in key US Senate race

Democratic U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto entered 2022 with more than four times as much money on hand as the entire GOP field trying to unseat her.

Cortez Masto, who is seeking re-election, raised $3.36 million in the final fundraising quarter of 2021. She spent $1.2 million and enters the election year with $10.46 million on hand, an amount her campaign said is unprecedented in Nevada.

The senator’s campaign said the vast majority of donations were $100 or less, with the average donation coming in at $51.
