What the August fundraising numbers say about Idaho’s fall elections
Two Democratic statewide candidates maintain an edge in marketing campaign money readily available, heading into the ultimate weeks of the autumn election.
Legal professional common’s candidate Tom Arkoosh and lieutenant governor’s candidate Terri Pickens Manweiler each have more cash within the financial institution than their Republican opponents, Raul Labrador and Scott Bedke. Each Labrador and Bedke needed to win hotly contested and dear Republican primaries in Might — with Labrador unseating 20-year incumbent Lawrence Wasden.
However within the state superintendent’s race, Republican Debbie Critchfield enjoys a fundraising edge heading into election season. And incumbent Gov. Brad Little holds an enormous benefit over his Democratic opponent.
