U.S. Rep. Don Young holds a massive cash advantage over his rivals heading into next month's primary.
According to the Federal Election Commission, neither of the two little-known challengers in the GOP primary has reported any financial activity. And personal loans have helped the Democratic candidate with the most cash on hand as of June 30, Matt Moore.
Moore, who announced his candidacy in May, reported raising $2,685 during the second quarter. He also loaned his campaign more than $18,500. He ended the reporting period with about $9,240 on hand.
Frank Vondersaar, the only other Democratic candidate to have second quarter fundraising posted by FEC as of Monday morning, stated he had $185 on hand as of June 30.
By comparison, Young had more than $576,000 on hand.
