LONG BEACH, NY – Running for office doesn’t come cheap. Candidates for the 2020 vote raised thousands of dollars trying to win their seats.
We looked at the latest state and federal government data to determine how much candidates who appeared on the Moncton ballot paper spent. The latest available data is from mid-October for both. But it shows that even weeks before the election, candidates were spending a lot of money trying to win.
4th congressional district
Incumbent Democrat Kathleen Rice was asked for the seat by Republican John Tuman. And Rice raised more than ten times Tuman’s. The Bundestag Election Commission considers the funds collected from January 1, 2019 as a contribution to the 2020 race. The latest data is from October 14.
As of Thursday, Rice still has a comfortable lead over Tuman, 147,425 votes to Tuman’s 134,225.
