Riley has more cash than Molinaro for final days of campaign
Vaughn Golden reports for WSKG that Democrat Josh Riley began October with just over $1.3 million while his Republican opponent, Marc Molinaro, began the month with $404,000. Riley raised just over $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, while Molinaro only raised around $46,000 during the same time period in their election for the new 19th Congressional District. Outside groups, and political action committees, have spent $1.6 million opposing Riley, and $2.2 million against Molinaro. The website fivethirtyeight.com predicts that Riley would beat Molinaro 58 out of 100 times. A Spectrum News/Siena College poll released October 6 gave Riley a five point advantage over Molinaro in the 19th Congressional District race, within the poll's margin of error. Voting begins Oct. 29 and ends Nov. 8. Read more about this story at the WSKG website.
