BALTIMORE — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wes Moore, who’s built a commanding lead over Republican Dan Cox heading into Election Day, raised $5.8 million in the last two months to bring his fundraising haul to $7.5 million since winning the nomination in July — most of which he has kept in the bank, campaign finance reports show.
Moore’s fundraising prowess has helped fuel an aggressive general election effort in which he’s expanded his campaign staff, traveled the state and filled voters’ television screens with ads in the major media markets.
Although nearly $1.7 million of the Democrat and his running mate’s $3.1 million expenses in recent months were for TV, digital and other types of ads, Cox has had a virtually nonexistent advertising presence as the nominees both try to win over voters with mail-in and early in-person voting underway.
