Recently, we have run several reports on fundraising through January 2018.\u00a0 This post combines all of our data and presents the top 20 fundraisers in MoCo so far.\u00a0 Note that we break out self-financing and report totals raised for the cycle, not just totals since the last report.\u00a0 And\u2026 here they are!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few random thoughts.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 It\u2019s natural to expect Brian Frosh and Peter Franchot to be the leaders since they both hold statewide offices.\u00a0 Of the county-level candidates, Council Member Roger Berliner, who is running for Executive, is number one.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The numbers for Senator Rich Madaleno (D-18), who is running for Governor, are misleading since he will be applying for public matching funds.\u00a0 Madaleno has said that he anticipates receiving about $975,000 from the state.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Delegate Jeff Waldstreicher (D-18), who is running for Senate, is the leading fundraiser among all of MoCo\u2019s state legislators.\u00a0 He will need that money against his self-funding rival, Dana Beyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 County Executive candidate David Blair, gubernatorial candidate Krish Vignarajah, Council District 1 candidate Andrew Friedson and Council At-Large candidate Bill Conway are first-time candidates.\u00a0 It\u2019s a significant achievement for first-timers to make a list of this kind although it\u2019s somewhat tempered by the self-financing of Blair and Vignarajah.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Delegate Marc Korman (D-16) is the only first-term elected official on this list.\u00a0 That\u2019s a big deal and a sign of good things to come.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Council Member Marc Elrich, who is running for Executive, has never been on a top fundraising list in his life.\u00a0 He is now, and that\u2019s thanks to public financing.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Lieutenant Governor candidate Susan Turnbull raised more money in a month and a half of campaigning than half the people on this list did in the entire cycle, a staggering feat.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Governor Larry Hogan has raised more money this cycle ($11.5 million) than everyone on this list combined.<\/p>\n

Note: an earlier version of this post mistakenly omitted Turnbull’s results.\u00a0 We have corrected it to include her.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
