North Carolina Democrats in top races this fall have outpaced their Republican rivals in fundraising over the past several months and entered the summer with cash advantages. Democratic candidate for governor Josh Stein continued to outraise Republican rival Mark Robinson. Stein reported collecting $13.
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Democrats outpaced their Republican rivals in fundraising over the past several months, according to campaign filings, entering the summer with cash advantages in a handful of top-ballot races this fall.
Over half of Stein’s second-quarter expenses of $10.6 million went to media advertising, his report said. The Josh Stein for North Carolina committee ran its first television ads of the general election campaign, which include commercials criticizing Robinson’s views on restricting abortion. Robinson’s campaign, which reported spending almost $3 million during the quarter, received some recent assistance from the Republican Governors Association, which said it was spending at least $1 million on a television ad that began airing last week. The commercial questions Stein’s view on local governments helping enforce federal immigration laws.
In the race to succeed Robinson as lieutenant governor, Democratic nominee Rachel Hunt outraised Republican nominee Hal Weatherman by an over 2-to-1 margin during the second quarter and had a more than 9-to-1 margin in cash on hand as of July.
