Senator Dean Heller’s campaign is reporting he has more than $3.5 million in cash on hand for his re-election campaign.
That finance information is due to the Federal Election Commission this week. It’s shaping up to be one of the most competitive Senate races in 2018, as Heller is considered the most vulnerable Republican seeking re-election.
Last week, freshman Representative Jacky Rosen announced that she would seek the Democratic nomination to face Heller in the 2018 general election.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee began running ads targeting Heller earlier this year for his 100 percent voting record with President Donald Trump. The 2016 Senate race in Nevada won by Catherine Cortez Masto saw more than $90 million spent by third-party and outside groups.
