The last comprehensive data we received regarding Virginia candidates’ campaign finances took us from September 1 through September 30. Now, we’re just over 1 week before election day on 11/7, which means that…yes, believe it or not, we’re at our final, pre-election campaign finance reports on candidates’ fundraising, expenditures and cash-on-hand situations. That includes the numbers coming in now, for the period October 1-October 26, and being reported on VPAP (I’ll update when more numbers come in, probably tomorrow morning). 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:
