● 2Q Fundraising: Daily Kos Elections is pleased to unveil our new charts rounding up second-quarter fundraising numbers for the House and Senate. Our data includes figures for every incumbent seeking reelection, as well as any notable challengers or candidates seeking open seats.

Andy Ogles in the Aug. 1 Republican primary for Tennessee's 5th District.
