All 12 U.S. House members from New Jersey have one thing in common: They raised more money than their opponents last year.
Eleven incumbents were re-elected in November. The 12th, Rep. Scott Garrett (R-5th Dist.) was outraised by his Democratic challenger, former White House speechwriter Josh Gottheimer, and lost his bid for an eighth term.
The lawmakers will tell the Federal Election Commission this weekend how much they’ve raised during the first three months of 2017 for their upcoming re-election campaigns. Here’s where they got their money from to run their last races. Data is from the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group, and covers the period Jan. 1, 2015, through Dec. 31, 2016.
