Read the complete article at STATE OF POLITCS The money race: How much do N.Y. congressional candidates have after the first quarter of 2024? By Washington, D.C. PUBLISHED 2:36 PM ET Apr. 16, 2024
Congressman Nick LaLota Has the most casino on handThe field has condensed in this Suffolk County district in recent weeks, with now just two main Democrats vying for the nomination. Incumbent Republican Nick LaLota has a cash-on-hand advantage at the end of the three-month period, but Democratic challenger John Avlon outraised him despite only launching his campaign halfway thru the quarter. A filing from indicted former Rep. George Santos, who says he will now be running as an independent, showed he raised no money in the recent quarter. Under newly redrawn maps, this district backed Donald Trump by 1.8% in 2020. (This is an improvement for Republicans. Under the old lines, it backed Joe Biden by 0.2% in 2020.)
