Talarico, Ossoff Post Big Fundraising Hauls in Fight for Senate

Democratic Senate candidates are posting blockbuster fundraising totals for the first quarter, with Texas candidate James Talarico’s campaign announcing a $27 million haul — which the campaign said was a record for a first quarter — and Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff collecting $14 million.

Soaring small-dollar donations have been a trademark of Democratic Party fundraising in recent cycles, and could help offset what has so far been a big advantage this election cycle for Republican-aligned super PACs like the Senate Leadership Fund, which announced last week it would allocate $342 million to eight battleground races.
