AZ-SEN: Mark Kelly heads into election year with big cash lead over Sen. McSally

[RandySF]

PHOENIX – In what’s shaping up to be one of the most expensive U.S. Senate campaigns of 2020, and the costliest in Arizona history, Democrat Mark Kelly continues to dominate incumbent Sen. Martha McSally on the fundraising front.

Kelly and McSally both closed out 2019 with their best hauls of the year, but the challenger outraised the first-term Republican by more than $2 million in the fourth quarter and has amassed a far larger war chest.

Kelly’s campaign on Tuesday touted a 2019 fourth quarter total of over $6.2 million, more than 50% higher than McSally’s announced total of around $4 million.

“This campaign took off like a rocket at the beginning of last year and hasn’t slowed down, and neither have the grassroots donors that are powering Mark’s Mission for Arizona,” Jen Cox, Kelly’s campaign manager, said in a press release.

5. Did the same from Idaho

McSally lashed out at a journalist today after he had posed a very reasonable question relating to the impeachment trial, dismissing him as a "liberal shill". So much for being an impartial juror. That incident inspired a $25 donation to Kelly's campaign.

7. Thought it was "liberal hack "? Cause many of the replies called her a hack.

4. Time to start following the money on McSally.

Is her campaign financed through the Russian funded PAC? Does she have offshore accounts? I don't trust republicans any farther than I can throw them! Anyone defending trump's crimes is getting paid off one way or another.

6. McSally: "I'm a jet pilot."

Mark Kelly: "I'm an astronaut."

In other news: my Representative Ann Kirkpatrick has entered alcohol
rehab. Az, district 2.

8. McSally is fundraising off her ridiculous "insult"

to CNN's Manu Raju. He asked her, quite politely, if she thought the Senate should call witnesses. She said, "you're a liberal hack, Manu."
