Hobbs dramatically outraises gubernatorial opponents. Schweikert falls behind

Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is outraising her Republican opponents several times over ahead of this year’s primary elections. And Congressman David Schweikert is trailing far behind his Democratic and Republican opponents.

Hobbs has more than $7.2 million on hand, which is six times what GOP challengers Schweikert and Congressman Andy Biggs have in their war chests.

Biggs has about $1.1 million on hand whereas Schweikert has just $86,000.

In this election cycle, Biggs and Schweikert have spent more than Hobbs percentage wise so far, but they have a competitive primary race to prepare for.

The congressmen will go head to head in the Republican primary election in July. The winner will face Hobbs in November.

To date, Hobbs has still raised substantially more than both candidates combined.

Since the beginning of the election cycle, Hobbs has raised a combined total of $7.8 million.

Biggs raised $2.8 million and already spent $1.7 million of that.

Schweikert was the last of the three to jump into the race. He’s raised $1.1 million and spent nearly all of it. Part of that was a $99,000 self-loan.

Third party candidate Hugh Lytle is also running for governor under the banner of the No Labels Party. He lent himself $1 million and still has $805,000 on hand.
