The Bottom Line
Rep. Angie Craig leads Minnesota's Democratic Senate primary fundraising with $2.5 million raised.
AI Summary
Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) has built a significant fundraising lead over Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in the state’s Democratic Senate primary. Craig raised $2.5 million in the first quarter of the year, according to Federal Elections Commission filings, while Flanagan raised $1.3 million. This leaves Craig with $4.8 million in cash on hand, compared to Flanagan's $1.1 million. Flanagan's campaign also spent over $1 million in the first quarter, nearly matching her fundraising. Campaign contributions are expected to become a key issue, as Flanagan has criticized Craig for accepting corporate PAC money and has pledged not to do so herself.
