Jacky Rosen challenger puts swing state Democrats on notice with record fundraising numbers

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) may be in for a tougher race than she bargained for after Republican challenger Sam Brown nearly doubled his fundraising numbers over last quarter’s haul.

Brown is running to flip Rosen’s seat red this November. This week, reports revealed he raked in more than $4 million between April and June, making this the Republican’s best fundraising quarter yet.

In the Senate race between Rosen and Brown, the Democratic incumbent still holds a significant fundraising edge over her challenger. Rosen raised $7.6 million during 2024’s second quarter. However, Brown has made wide gains over his Republican predecessors. In 2022, Adam Laxalt raised only $2.7 million during his second quarter as he battled with Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV).

Polling covering the high-stakes Senate race shows divergent numbers. Rosen’s lead over Brown appears to be as low as 2 points and as high as 12. In May, the Brown campaign touted a New York Times poll showing the two tied.
