On Friday, the fundraising numbers came in for Virginia's statewide candidate races. Townhall was able to speak to the leaders in the Republican field for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general.
In addition to local and statewide news outlets, the fundraising numbers have gotten media attention from The Washington Post as well.
Chris Saxman also provided commentary on the numbers for Bearing Drift, emphasizing first and foremost that "Cash On Hand (COH) Cash is King. Deal with it." He also stressed the importance of looking at a data set to do with the number of "Donors under $100. Outside public polling, this is the only objective piece of information that shows popularity of the candidate. If someone will send you money, they will vote for you," which he said, with original emphasis "does NOT translate over to large donors."
