UNDERDOG GOP SENATE CANDIDATE GAINS GROUND IN RACE AGAINST INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT, CAMPAIGN SAYSVirginia’s Senate race has cost far less than other contests with better-funded challengers. In Arizona, the race between GOP incumbent Sen. Martha McSally and Democrat and former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly has shattered state records with regular hauls in the tens of millions of dollars. Gade, who last week described his Virginia race as a “sleeper” campaign, said he expects the race to not only be closer than expected, but winnable. “The surge in donations is because Virginians are backing our grassroots campaign and see this is a competitive race,” Gade said. Before that, Warner raised $1.8 million in the first quarter of this year, while Gade took in roughly $220,000, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
