PITTSBURGH — Fueled by a massive advantage in donations from those who gave less than $200, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman heavily out-raised Republican Mehmet Oz from late April through the start of July, entering the opening act of the general election for U.S. Senate with a significant cash advantage.
Fetterman’s total haul from individuals and committees, according to campaign finance reports due to the Federal Election Commission on Friday, checked in at $9.9 million. Oz, the cardiothoracic surgeon and TV celebrity, brought in $1.1 million, closing the gap a bit by loaning his campaign another $2.2 million.
As the calendar turned to July, Fetterman had five times as much cash on hand as Oz, at a total of $5.5 million to $1.1 million.
