PHILADELPHIA — Democrat John Fetterman had substantially more campaign money left to spend than Republican Mehmet Oz as they entered the final weeks of a close U.S. Senate race with national consequences.
Fetterman had $4.2 million in his campaign fund as of Sept. 30, while Oz had $2.5 million, according to public disclosures filed Saturday, reflecting how much firepower each campaign has for television ads and other campaigning as they sprint through the final weeks of a crucial race.
The totals came after Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, raised more than $22 million for his campaign in July, August and September, doubling his own record for a single quarter in a U.S. Senate race in the state. Oz raised about $9 million in that same period and in addition loaned his campaign $7 million from his own pocket.
