Key Points:
- Republican Rodney Glassman claims to have most cash on hand in Arizona attorney general race
- Glassman’s $3.3 million includes $1 million of his own money, campaign finance report shows
- Democrat Kris Mayes, the incumbent, has raised over $3.7 million for reelection
Rodney Glassman, a Republican contender for attorney general, is boasting that he has more cash on hand than anyone else in the race. What Glassman does not say — and what his latest campaign finance report does not make clear — is that his $3.3 million war chest includes $1 million of his own money.
Still, that still leaves him more than both of his other GOP foes in the race combined.
But incumbent Attorney General Kris Mayes reports more than $2.8 million cash on hand from contributions alone, with no reported self-funding spent for another four years in office.
In broader strokes, Glassman has collected $2.3 million — not counting his personal loan — in the race, with about $268,000 in expenses so far.
