Virginia Democrats running for seats in the General Assembly raised more money than Republicans during September, but Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) is piling up cash.
RICHMOND — Democrats running for Virginia General Assembly seats continued to outraise Republicans in campaign contributions during the month of September, but Gov. Glenn Youngkin began putting his foot on the gas for the GOP by making donations from his huge national fundraising haul, which is surging from his flirtation with a presidential bid.Democratic candidates for the House of Delegates raised a combined $8.8 million during the Sept. 1-30 reporting period, compared with $8.
All 140 seats in the General Assembly are on the Nov. 7 ballot. Republicans are defending a slim majority in the House and trying to flip the Senate, where Democrats hold a slight edge. Full GOP control would pave the way for Youngkin to enact a conservative agenda that includes banning abortions after 15 weeks — with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the pregnant person — cutting corporate and individual taxes, and rolling back environmental standards.
In House races, Republicans had about $10.8 million on hand heading into October compared with the Democrats’ $9.1 million. On the Senate side, Republican candidates had a total of $5.4 million available heading into October, to Democrats’ $5.1 million. The second-highest fundraiser was Sen. Siobhan S. Dunnavant , who is seeking a third four-year term in a redrawn suburban Richmond district that now leans blue. She collected about $1.3 million — more than half of that from Youngkin’s PAC and most of the rest from Republican colleagues in Richmond’s upper chamber.
