WASHINGTON _ U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff spent more money on his campaign in the first three months of 2019 than all but two other House Democrats _ and they're both running for president.
Even though it's not yet an election year and he is not expected to face a competitive reelection race in 2020, the California Democrat spent roughly $1 million in the first quarter of the year, a majority of which went toward digital ads rebutting attacks from President Donald Trump.
Only Reps. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Eric Swalwell of California spent more among the House Democratic caucus, due largely to transfers they made to their presidential campaigns.
