(CNN) Democrat Conor Lamb holds a significant financial advantage over Republican Rick Saccone heading into the final stretch of the special election in Pennsylvania's 18th District. According to FEC filings posted Thursday, Lamb dramatically outraised Saccone from January 1 through February 21, the final complete filing period before the special election, which is set for March 13. Lamb took in around $3.3 million during this period, compared to about $700,000 for Saccone. During the same period, Lamb's campaign spent $2.9 million while Saccone's campaign spent a little over $600,000. Pennsylvania's 18th District is holding a special election because of Republican Rep. Tim Murphy's resignation following a sexual harassment scandal last October.
