Kansas Democratic Senate Candidate Adam Hamilton has raised nearly twice as much money as his Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS). Marshall has raised $7.01 million for his re-election campaign, while Hamilton has raised $13.53 million.
As of Sept. 30, Marshall had $922,000 on hand with zero debt. Hamilton had $3.18 million on hand and $50,000 in debt. Hamilton beat Christy Davis in the Democratic primary by 20% on Aug. 4, while Marshall beat Pond Naramore in the Republican primary by 60%.
CEOs top Marshall’s list at $233,000, followed by physicians ($106,000), business owners ($86,000), and company presidents ($73,000), reflecting a small-business and executive-based coalition. For Hamilton, lawyers lead at $216,000, followed by physicians ($83,000), business owners ($68,000), and CEOs ($59,000), indicating a professional-class donor base. Retirees account for a larger share of Hamilton’s donations, standing at 57% ($1.9 million) for Hamilton compared to just 13% ($294,000) for Marshall. Marshall also relies more on committees, which accounted for 31% of his receipts, compared with none of Hamilton's.
Money doesn't decide races by itself, and outside groups have already spent $2.9 million in Kansas, most of it backing Democrat Noah Taylor, who lost the Aug. 4 primary, while just over $3,200 has supported Democratic nominee Adam Hamilton.
