Stein, other North Carolina Democrats have fundraising leads entering summer
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Democrats outpaced their Republican rivals in fundraising over the past several months, according to campaign filings, entering the summer with cash advantages in a handful of top-ballot races this fall. Democratic candidate for governor Josh Stein continued to best Republican rival Mark Robinson in collecting donations during a roughly 4 1/2-month period that ended June 30. But both campaigns trumpeted their totals as record-breaking for a race expected to be among the most competitive in the country. Candidate and party committees filed their financing reports with the State Board of Elections by a deadline last week, but the board didn’t post many of them online until days later. This “second-quarter” period began a couple of weeks before the March 5 primaries, which Robinson and Stein both ran in and won their respective party’s nominations. The campaign of Stein, the current attorney general, reported raising $13.8 million during this period compared to $5.1 million by Robinson, the sitting lieutenant governor. Stein also had a wide margin when it came to cash as of July 1, with $15.9 million in the bank compared to close to $6.6 million held by Robinson’s campaign.
