MI-SEN: GOP challenger outraises Michigan's Sen. Peters in first quarter

[RandySF]

Republican John James outraised Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) in the first quarter of 2020 in Michigan's Senate race.

James’s campaign announced Tuesday he raised $4.8 million in the first three months of 2020 while Peters raked in $4 million. James has outraised Peters for three consecutive quarters.

“This is a difficult time for Michigan. We are grateful for the support of our grassroots, across Michigan and the country, especially during these past few challenging months,” said James campaign spokesperson Abby Walls. “Our focus has been on serving Michiganders in need. That is the leadership voters are looking for—a proven leader who has shown he will get results for Michigan, even in the toughest of environments.”

Despite James’s fundraising strength, Peters has outraised James overall in the 2020 cycle so far, raking in $13.4 million compared to just under $13 million for James. The incumbent senator also boasted a hefty war chest of $8 million heading into 2020, a record-setting cash-on-hand for a Senate race in Michigan heading into an election year.

1. Bloomberg needs to step up with some cash

[scarletwoman]

2. Maybe the DNC needs to step up - Bloomberg gave the DNC $18 million for 2020. (nt)

3. Yes

But I am no longer seeing or hearing about anti trump ads & rather than keeping his fiekd staff on, as promised, Bloomberg terminated them with little to no healthcare.

So I am wondering if he is going to put his money where his mouth is...or was.

5. He does seem to have melted away.

Some good pro-Dem ads would certainly be welcome.

7. IKR!

For a while, I was receiving mailers, no doubt already paid for, but no more.

8. While I'm grateful for that, it's not enough

He spend well over 500 million running for president. He's so rich if someone stole 100 million from him, he wouldn't even notice.

4. Bloomberg sure went underground quickly enough.

6. See the RW bias? James RAISES the money while the Dem RAKES it in.

The Hill, of course.
