New lines set to be drawn by commissions, legislators
Incumbents may need more cash to increase name I.D. July 16, 2021 4:35 PM By Greg Giroux
House incumbents are for the most part better-funded than they were two years ago as they prepare for a potentially chaotic redrawing of congressional district lines before the 2022 elections.
There are 145 House members whose campaigns began July with more than $1 million in cash on hand. Thatâs up from 107 at a similar point in the 2020 elections, according to a Bloomberg Government review of campaign finance reports due Thursday to the Federal Election Commission.
A big bankroll can help an incumbent prepare for a difficult re-election campaign in a district revamped by the opposing political party or an independent redistricting commission. Ample campaign funds can help a potentially vulnerable House member move quickly to reach out to prospective new voters who arenât familiar with them.
