Andrew Janz, Devin Nunes opponent for Congress, is still being outspent nearly 2 to 1.

According to the Fresno Bee (August 22), Janz has raised nearly $1 million in the month of July – more than twice the fundraising haul of any Democratic incumbent or challenger in California. It's a total of about $3.8 million, none of which comes from corporate PACS, according to the campaign.

Republican Devin Nunes, had raised more than $7 million in this election cycle.

Janz has been closing the gap on Nunes, but I think the campaign could still use every penny it can get ... $5-$10 bucks a pop even. Shucks, you could almost blow that on a fancy coffee drink at Starbucks.

I just donated another $50. You want to kick Devin Nunes in the butt? JOIN ME! http://andrewjanzforcongress.org

Doesn't work that way. Have you read Article I, section 2, clause 4 of the US Constitution? Brother Buzz Aug 2018 #6
Sorry, but the governors can only fill Senate vacancies. In the House it's a special election. hedda_foil Aug 2018 #7
