Maine Democrat Challenging Susan Collins Outraises GOP Senator by Millions

The frontrunner in Maine's upcoming Democratic primary has managed to outraise Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who has held office since 1997, by millions.

Looking at updated fundraising reports submitted before a Thursday deadline set by the federal government, The Bangor Daily News found that Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon, Collins' leading rival, has outraised the U.S. senator by nearly $7 million.

According to the fundraising reports, Gideon managed to raise more than $8 million during the pre-primary period, bringing her up to more than $22 million in total funds raised. The House speaker spent a total of $7.2 million during that period, leaving her with $5.5 million in cash on hand.

Meanwhile, Collins raised $3 million during the pre-primary period, bringing her fundraising total this cycle up to more than $16 million.

I have to ask though, what has Gideon spent $7 million on? That's seems like a lot during the Dem primary phase of the race. These Senate campaigns are so damn expensive and it's getting worse.
