THE HOUSE TOP 10
Eight of the top 10 House fundraisers topped $1 million in raised dollars for the quarter just ended. And, the top Republican and Democratic fundraisers are both from the same district, rural Upstate New York’s 21st District. This campaign features three-term incumbent Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Schuylerville) and her opponent, former Lawrence County legislator and 2018 nominee Tedra Cobb. Fundraising went off the charts for the two due to Rep. Stefanik’s performance at the House Impeachment hearings.In the partisan division, seven of the top 10 are Democrats. All but Cobb are incumbents.
