COLUMBUS, Ohio – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s campaign has a significant cash advantage over Bernie Moreno heading into the next phase of Ohio’s election season as Moreno emerges from last month’s contentious Republican primary election.
Brown, a longtime Ohio Democrat, disclosed in new campaign finance reports that he has nearly $16 million in cash, compared to Moreno’s $1.72 million. Buckeye Values PAC, a Super PAC Moreno’s allies formed to support his campaign, meanwhile has another $543,000. The filings cover all campaign finance activity from last month, including the March 19 primary election.
