“By outraising Brian Fitzpatrick by over $350,000 and bringing in over $1.25 million in Q3 alone, which is more than any other Democrat in PA-01 history, Bucks and Montgomery counties have shown that we are ready for change. I am extraordinarily proud of and grateful for the support our campaign has generated as we work to reach and mobilize voters across PA-01,” said Rachel Berlowe Binder, Ehasz’s campaign manager.
Fitzpatrick’s campaign spent $265,104, and Ehasz spent $1,679,733 during the quarter, according to the data.
As the final weeks of the campaign approached, Fitzpatrick’s campaign held a substantial war chest with $4.5 million on hand, while Ehasz’s campaign had $912,140.
