Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate and Congress are racing to raise more money as the Aug. 4 primary election approaches.
Meanwhile, three Democratic candidates awaiting for a general election opponent – U.S. Senate candidate Barbara Bollier, Congresswoman Sharice Davids and Topeka Mayor Michelle De La Isla – continue to amass cash as they watch and wait.
Candidates on Thursday filed their pre-primary reports with Congressman Roger Marshall leading all GOP U.S. Senate candidates but still far behind Bollier.
Bollier raised $670,000 during the first two weeks of July compared to $156,000 for Marshall and $111,000 for former Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
