Fundraising leaders have emerged among races across the First State as candidates have just a few more days to sway voters.
State Sen. Bethany Hall-Long (D-Middletown) surged ahead among five other Democrats seeking the Lt. Governor nomination, collecting another roughly $49,000 since August 15.
She spent about $94,000 during that time, leaving her with 60-grand cash on hand.
Kathy McGuiness, who outraised Hall-Long earlier in the year, took in more than $17,000 in the same time period, but only has about $25,000 in the bank.
The other four candidates either took in small amounts of money or wrote a check to themselves to help feed their campaigns.
In the Wilmington mayor’s Democratic primary, businessman Mike Purzycki collected another $42,000 after taking in more than $175,000 earlier this year.
No other campaign came close.
State Sen. Bob Marshall (D-Wilmington West) received about $29,000 in a last-minute push.
Eugene Young earned another $10,000, while incumbent Mayor Dennis Williams (D) nearly scratched that mark.
Former city council president Norm Griffiths loaned himself more than $11,000 to give him $27,000 cash on hand – the most of any Democratic hopeful.
Voters go to the polls September 13.
