Nearly half of Maryland’s 47 state senators entered their third year in office with at least $100,000 in their campaign accounts, a Maryland Matters analysis of the latest campaign finance figures shows.
Campaign finance reports for state elected officials were due at the state Board of Elections last Wednesday. They represent fundraising activities from Jan. 9, 2020 to Jan. 13 of this year.
Unsurprisingly, Senate President Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City) had far and away the biggest campaign war chest among senators on Jan. 13 ? $1,071,992. That’s more than double the bank account of the runner-up, Budget and Taxation Chairman Guy J. Guzzone (D-Howard), who reported $423, 927 in the bank.
