Millions of dollars in campaign cash are already flowing into Minnesota's marquee midterm races, campaign finance filings published late last week show.
The big picture: DFL Gov. Tim Walz retains a big cash advantage over all his could-be GOP rivals.
- Among Republicans, physician Scott Jensen and state Sen. Paul Gazelka lead the pack.
Between the lines: Walz's money edge shouldn't come as a surprise given that the incumbent governor had both a head start and no primary opponent.
- Republicans, meanwhile, are running in a crowded race and must spend cash to woo delegates ahead of the crucial May endorsement vote.
Worth remembering: While campaign cash can signal a candidate's viability, outside groups that can raise and spend unlimited sums will play a big role in competitive campaigns.
