Incumbent Democrats hold huge cash advantage in Ohio's competitive congressional seats
Incumbent Democrats in Ohio’s three most competitive congressional districts are swamping their opponents in fundraising ahead of a pivotal midterm election.
In the final quarter of 2025, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo raised more than $537,000. The three Republicans running against her brought in about $545,000 combined. Kaptur also holds a massive advantage in cash-on-hand.
In Cincinnati, U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman raised more than double what the Republican field running against him was able to collect.
In Akron, the margin for U.S. Rep. Emilia Sykes is more like 9-to-1 after GOP frontrunner Kevin Coughlin abandoned the race.
