FL-HD38: David Smith (R) holds massive cash edge over Sarah Henry (D) in closing weeks of HD 38 race

Heading into the last month of campaigning, Republican Rep. David Smith holds a clear cash advantage over Democratic challenger Sarah Henry. But both state parties are continuing to invest heavily in the House District 38 contest.

Smith, a Winter Springs Republican, remains one of the most prolific fundraisers in the House, collecting more than $466,000 as he seeks a fourth term. After spending, he had more than $121,000 in cash on hand as of Oct. 4 in his candidate account.

By comparison, Henry, a Casselberry Democrat, has reported nearly $172,000 in donations. But she has also spent more than $176,000 through the last disclosure period, putting her under by more than $4,000.

She spent nearly $39,000 in the last week of September with Snyder Pickerill Media Group in Chicago and almost $8,000 with Portland-based Mandate Media.

Smith spent some $59,000 with SimWins in the same period, along with more than $7,000 with Nationwide Publishing on direct mail, $5,000 with Ionica Advertising on email blasts and $2,200 with Jet Set Printing to put up more signs.
