“Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick’s billionaire-backed super PAC keeps banking money at a speedy clip. But incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey’s campaign is raising steadily and will likely see more outside help as the race heats up,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
“By far the largest pot of money currently available in Pennsylvania’s marquee U.S. Senate race, one of the most hotly contested in the nation, is controlled by Keystone Renewal, a SuperPAC that last fall came out of the gate with $18 million in contributions from large-dollar donors. Those contributions were not subject to laws that limit what donors can give directly to political campaigns.”
“Based on filings made to the Federal Election Commission in the first quarter of this year, Keystone Renewal’s take is now up to $21 million. That money comes from just 41 donors, only two of whom live in Pennsylvania.”
