The last comprehensive data we received regarding Virginia candidates’ campaign finances took us from June 9 through June 30. Now, we’re just 7 days before early voting starts on 9/22, so we’re going to be getting more frequent campaign finance reports on candidates’ fundraising, expenditures and cash-on-hand situations. That includes the numbers coming in now, for the period July 1-August 31, and being reported on VPAP. As always, I’m particularly interested in candidates’ fundraising for key, competitive races (and a few that are on the edge of being competitive) that will determine control of the State Senate and House of Delegates, including the following:
