Congressional incumbents maintain cash leads, as Republicans escalate primary spending

Nevada’s Democratic incumbents in Congress continued to outraise their Republican opponents through April and May, as spending in several competitive Republican primaries intensified ahead of the start of early voting.

Leading the way, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) raised a Nevada record $3.6 million from April 1 through May 25, a span of about eight weeks called the pre-primary period by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
