McAuliffe dominates gubernatorial fundraising, reporting more cash than all opponents combined

Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe entered 2021 with more money in the bank than all other candidates for governor combined, according to year-end campaign finance reports that were due Friday.

McAuliffe, who was expected to have a strong money advantage given his background in political fundraising and ties to national Democrats, began the year with more than $5.5 million on hand.

Former Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy reported almost $1.3 million on hand, state Sen. Jennifer McClellan, D-Richmond reported about $633,000 and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax reported nearly $80,000.

Del. Lee Carter, D-Manassas, who just officially entered the field Jan. 1, reported about $7,000 on hand in his House of Delegates re-election account.

It’s very likely he gets re-elected. Amazing that he wants it back.

I’ve been in the room with him 3 times when he was Governor. You can feel the energy when he comes busting in. Nonstop and highly engaging.

I saw that Pelosi has already endorsed him. He Did a Good Job so It's No Surprise Folks Want him Back. That 1 term VA rule is weird but it does free a Governor up to not have to worry about being reelected for a second consecutive term.

I was really impressed with how liberal he governed. He was also the first Democratic governor that didn't get replaced by a republican that I can remember.
