- Over the years, the measuring stick for a successful political campaign is, at least in part, the money.
In the race for the 5th Congressional District, new federal fillings show Democrat challenger JD Ford has raised twice as much as incumbent Victoria Spartz from individuals and committees this last quarter.
October FEC fillings show "Neighbors to Elect JD Ford" collected $667,369.72 from individuals and PACs this quarter while "Victoria Spartz for Congress" got $291,436.31 from individuals and PACs.
However, Spartz just gave herself a huge influx of cash with a $450,000 loan. Her campaign said it’s to fight back against a national PAC which is spending $2 million to try and defeat her.
