That data may be even more outdated than I suspected. They’re listing Murtha as running unopposed. His opponent, Bill Russell, has to this point raised $2 million.

There was another GOP candidate in Georgia who has substantially outraised a Dem incumbent, but I don’t have it on the competitive races for the same reasons I don’t have Murtha’s seat listed. Those are majority Dem districts, Murtha’s especially was SPECIFICALLY tailor-made for him by the PA GOP legislature in order to make GOP seats elsewhere. That fortune would be better used against Altmire in the 4th with former incumbent Melissa Hart seeking a rematch. That IS a GOP district. As for the one in Georgia, that’s a Black Democrat district. Zero chance of our winning it, even if the GOP challenger raised $100 million.
