North Carolina 2024 Second Quarter Fundraising Update
Thank you for joining us this morning.
Over the past week, campaign finance reports for statewide races have been coming into the N.C. Board of Elections. Some media reporting has happened on this, with stories offering mostly disjointed and incomplete data. Below, we offer a clean rundown of how much each statewide candidate has, legislative leaders and caucus entities – total raised this cycle, total raised this reporting period, and current cash on on hand.
Of note, Democratic candidates in the state’s premier races have hauled in impressive sums. Democratic candidate for governor Josh Stein has raised nearly $33,000,000 this cycle, and Democratic candidate for attorney general Jeff Jackosn has raised more than $7,000,000.
