Campaign finance reports for 2018 were released by the Secretary of State’s Office this week, and they show Sen. Sally Doty with the most cash on hand among the area’s three lawmakers.

Doty, who is running for re-election in District 39, has two Republican opponents — Josh Davis of Ruth and Elizabeth Brown of Brookhaven. The Democratic party in the state has yet to release a list of candidates.

His largest contribution came from Koch Industries in the amount of $1,000. The report did not list any local contributions to his campaign during 2018.
Mangold currently does not have a Republican opponent.
The Secretary of State’s Office released a list of candidates who failed to file a campaign finance report. Thirty-six candidates made the list, and another four filed late.
