Kunce raises most funds among Senate hopefuls in Missouri

ST. LOUIS (AP) — In a state that has moved decidedly Republican over the past two decades, it’s a Democrat who has raised the most money so far in the 2022 U.S. Senate race. The Federal Election Commission website shows that Marine veteran Lucas Kunce raised $2.48 million as of Dec. 31, slightly more than Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s $2.44 million. The rest of the top fundraisers are Republicans: U.S Rep. Vicky Hartzler, $1.93 million; former Gov. Eric Greitens, $1.49 million; U.S. Rep. Billy Long, $1.37 million; state Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz; $1.17 million; and St. Louis attorney Mark McCloskey, $945,000.
