Abstract:
Eight statewide races attracted a total of $33.7 million, or $1.6 million per candidate. As is typical, most of the statewide money went to the gubernatorial races, which raised more than all other statewide races combined. Overall, the 252 House races raised more money than the 50 Senate races, but the average raised per Senate race was twice as high as the House average (see table above). The 302 legislative races combined still collected less money than did the gubernatorial candidates.
