Georgia Campaigns Finance Summary

Democratic US Senator Raphael Warnock’s campaign raised $7.2 million between April and June and had $10.5 million in cash on hand at the end of June.

These are figures that far outpaced his current Republican opponents. Latham Saddler, who is running as a Republican, says he raised $1.4 million in the second quarter, which would make him the leading Republican fundraiser. Warnock took his seat in the Senate early this year after winning a special election that was one of two of the most expensive elections in Georgia’s history. Warnock must run again in 2022 to win a full six-year term.

In Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, three Democrats and seven Republicans have filed to fill Jody Hice’s seat since Hice is stepping down to run for Secretary of State. Hice currently leads his opponents in the Secretary of State’s race, with a second quarter haul of 576,000 and 512,000 cash on hand. Four of the Republicans running for the 10th District raised over $100,000, while the Democrats each raised less than $2,500.
