Georgia Senate: Ossoff's Fundraising Scale

New FEC filings show the scale of money moving through the Georgia Senate race in the final stretch. Democrat Jon Ossoff reported total receipts of $115,904,485.77, the largest haul of any candidate in this batch of filings by a wide margin. He has spent $105,760,716.56, leaving $15,134,335.92 in cash on hand. The spend rate — more than 91 cents of every dollar raised already out the door — is consistent with a campaign built for national-level media buys rather than one banking reserves for a late push. With 10 days until the election, the remaining cash is still larger than several other Senate campaigns' entire war chests, underscoring how much money has concentrated in this single race.

Ohio Senate: Brown and Husted Both Report Heavy Burn

The Ohio Senate race filings tell a story of disproportionate fundraising paired with similarly disproportionate burn rates. Democrat Sherrod Brown raised $68,409,199.85 and disbursed $63,956,396.53, leaving him with just $4,452,803.32 on hand — a cash position that represents only about 6.5% of total receipts. Republican Jon Husted ran a smaller operation by comparison, reporting $19,894,785.94 in receipts against $15,655,689.37 in spending, with $4,239,096.57 remaining. Despite the roughly 3-to-1 gap in total money raised between the two campaigns, their cash-on-hand figures are now nearly identical heading into the final days. Both filings indicate campaigns that treated this period as a spend-it-down phase rather than a reserve-building one.

North Carolina and New Hampshire Senate: Cooper and Pappas Filings

In the North Carolina Senate race, Democrat Roy Cooper reported $49,585,341.29 in total receipts, $40,496,481.72 in disbursements, and $9,088,859.57 cash on hand — a reserve that puts him in the middle tier of this filing set, both in total dollars raised and in dollars retained. The picture is tighter in the New Hampshire Senate race, where Democrat Chris Pappas raised $23,703,648.39 and spent $22,126,866.80, leaving just $1,984,365.82 on hand. That is the thinnest remaining cash position among the Senate filings reviewed here, with more than 93% of receipts already spent. The gap between Cooper's and Pappas's remaining reserves — roughly $7.1 million — is wider than either campaign's full fundraising total from some earlier reporting periods, a reminder of how compressed the final-stretch financial math has become.

Maine and Michigan Senate: Collins and Rogers Report Low Reserves

Republican Susan Collins, in the Maine Senate race, raised $22,465,217.83 and disbursed nearly all of it — $22,351,644.19 — leaving only $2,689,882.54 on hand, a burn rate near 99.5%. That leaves little room for error or late adjustments to media plans without fresh fundraising. In the Michigan Senate race, Republican Mike Rogers reported $23,016,438.64 in receipts, $19,369,636.60 in disbursements, and $3,902,505.76 remaining — a somewhat healthier cushion than Collins's in both absolute terms and as a share of total receipts. Both campaigns raised comparable amounts this period, but Rogers now holds nearly 45% more cash than Collins heading into the final 10 days.

New Jersey Senate: Booker Holds Cash Advantage

The filing from Democrat Cory Booker in the New Jersey Senate race stands apart from the rest of this set. Booker raised $21,275,162.52 this period but spent only $9,568,237.79, leaving $22,899,410.72 on hand — a reserve that exceeds his own receipts for the period, built on carryover from earlier fundraising. That total is the largest cash-on-hand figure of any candidate in this filing round, surpassing even Ossoff's $15.1 million remaining despite Ossoff having raised more than five times as much. The contrast raises a straightforward financial question for the final stretch: whether Booker's campaign ramps up spending to match the burn rates seen in Ohio, Maine, and New Hampshire, or holds reserves back.

House Filings: Ocasio-Cortez and Johnson

Two House filings in this batch show fundraising figures that rival some Senate campaigns, though both remain well below the leading Senate totals. In New York's 14th district, Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reported $38,029,039.10 in total receipts against $24,188,385.41 in disbursements, leaving $17,575,300.57 on hand — a cash position larger than four of the seven Senate campaigns detailed above. In Louisiana, Republican Mike Johnson raised $24,583,416.13, spent $19,325,044.25, and retains $6,510,748.41 in cash. Both figures illustrate how single House seats have become capable of drawing Senate-scale money, even as their overall totals still trail Ossoff, Brown, and Cooper.

Taken together, these filings show wide variation in how campaigns are managing the closing days — some, like Ossoff's and Collins's, have all but emptied their accounts on the bet that the spending is already working; others, like Booker's, are sitting on reserves that could still reshape the final week. The numbers alone do not settle which approach pays off, but they define the financial terms each campaign is operating under as Election Day approaches.
