Female Challengers Outpace GOP Incumbents In Money Race

The 2018 midterm elections are already turning out to be a historic race for women. A record-breaking 309 women are running for U.S. House seats as of the beginning of April.

And according to the latest fundraising figures, women aren’t just stepping into the ring. They’re trouncing the incumbent Republican congressmen they’re running against when it comes to raising money.

More than 40 House Democratic candidates outraised Republican incumbents in the first quarter of 2018, according to the Cook Political Report. Half of those 40 Democrats are women.

From deep red districts to Democratic strongholds and everywhere in between, women are outpacing Republican congressmen in fundraising, sometimes by two-to-one margins.
