Warnock raises $7.2M in quest to keep Senate seat in 2022

Democratic U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock raised money at a brisk pace from April through June, outstripping his currently announced Republican rivals for the 2022 senatorial election in Georgia.
Warnock's campaign raised $7.2 million during the second quarter and finished June 30 with $10.5 million in cash on hand. Warnock's campaign spent nearly $2.3 million during the period. His campaign says 110,000 people donated.
Warnock raised more than $150 million from the start of his campaign through March 31, part of a pair of the most expensive political races Georgia has ever seen. But he has to keep hustling for cash because he only won two years in the Senate and has to be reelected next year to win a full six-year term.
Latham Saddler, a Navy veteran and former bank executive who is running as a Republican, said he raised more than $1.4 million in the second quarter and has $1 million in the bank. Campaign officials said Sadler gave his campaign $2,900.
Republican Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black collected $703,000 in contributions since announcing his candidacy in June. Black reported $680,000 in cash on hand. Many of Black's largest contributors came from Georgia agricultural and food businesses.
Kelvin King, a Marietta contractor and another GOP candidate, reported raising $371,000 and loaning his campaign $300,000. King had $560,000 in cash in the bank. Notable donors to King include brewing magnate August Busch III and Gem Shopping Network founder Frank Circelli of Duluth. LINK

Was his win even legit?

He's still a wife beater and a god grifter.

The gap in credibility was wider than that between Stacey’s teef.

Did he really win in the last election or run-off ? I think not

No. But we'll never confirm unless the legislature nuts up.

Honestly if they are allowed to do a full forensic audit of Fulton, Gwinnett and Cobb counties I don’t think he makes the runoff. In fact I think we have two republican senators in GA.

He won? I don't think so. What I do know is that the abandoned kitten I took in last month would be a better Senator.

Money talks in politics. He is a good candidate in the sense that he can get money from donors and he knows the ins and outs of retail politics . Right now he is positioning himself to try and swamp his competition and Republicans in Georgia are sending the minor leaguers up against him. This is why Republicans are in trouble
If you want to rid yourself of Warnock then get someone out there that can excite. Sending a banker and an obscure state Ag Commissioner out to face him says to me that Republicans have already thrown in the towel.
Sheesh!!!!! Georgia Republicans .

Can never rule out Dems when it comes to raising lots of dough for media smear ads and busing voters to the polls.

If I were a degenerate gambler, I lay a hefty chunk that 90% of it is coming from out of state…

Why does this board continue this lie? Their is plenty to criticize him over without making shite up.

Who cares if it is coming from out of state? Warnock has the money and the other guys do not. That puts Warnock in a position to depress the Republican donor class and if he has to, start using media buys to frame the debate to his advantage before his opposition has a chance to get ramped up.

This is precisely why the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed.
People from other states should NOT be able to influence the appointment of State Senators.

Wasn't this the guy that ran over his (ex)wife's foot trying evade her.

Court case on Monday at 1:30pm alleges it's not.

Warnock will win in a landslide. There is absolutely no way he loses. Georgia is lost to the GOP.
Posted on 7/16/21 at 7:02 am to DeltaTigerDelta
Kelvin King or Gary Black would be good.
Abrams will dump $10M easy into the race for Warnock.
