It's the first work day of the new (election) year, and that means candidates with good numbers are announcing their fundraising hauls for 2021. State law allows candidates to raise money for an entire year before reporting their numbers.
In the Dem primary for #AZGOV, @1marcolopez announced that he's raised more than $1m, followed by @aaron4az, who says he's raised $1.16m. No word yet from @katiehobbs, who's expected to have an impressive number boosted by her opposition to the so-called election "audit."
Waiting to see numbers from @KariLake. She was rumored to have fundraising trouble early on, which she denied, but either way, her numbers surely got a boost from from the Trump endorsement.
I'm sure everyone is also interested to see @Karrin4Arizona's numbers, which is to say, how much self-funding she'll report. The political chattering class expects her to put tens of millions of her own money into the race.
Campaign finance reports aren't due until Jan. 15, so a lot of candidates, especially those with lackluster numbers, won't put out anything for a while. Those with good fundraising hauls will announce before then.
