Georgia's Sen. Warnock raises $13.6M in 2022′s first quarter

By JEFF AMY

ATLANTA (AP) — Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock says his fundraising has set a new record as Georgia’s Senate campaign shapes up to be one of this year’s most expensive races.

Warnock reported Thursday that he raised $13.6 million in the first three months of 2022, outpacing what was already a hefty $9.8 million raised in the last three months of 2021.

The senator’s campaign said it was the most money ever raised by a U.S. Senate candidate in the first quarter of an election year, giving Warnock $25.6 million in cash on hand.

Warnock is a heavy favorite to defeat Tamara Johnson-Shealey in the Democratic primary. Republican Herschel Walker is the frontrunner among six GOP candidates in the May 24 primary. Libertarian Chase Oliver will also be on the general election ballot in November.

I get 2 emails some days begging for contributions and decided early on my money would be better spent on some of the other lesser known races and candidates in 2022.

Some we don’t love, some we love with our minds and some we love with our hearts. I love this one heart and mind.

When we are right on the facts, we have such outstanding outstanding legislators, we actually do work for our people and they only block progress and serve the billionaires, they have such dirtbags and they are Putin butt kissers and morons.

Grrrrr
