The only squad member who hasn’t turned in a quarterly loss yet is Boebert. The Gaetz campaign took a bath in both the second and third quarter last year, and Cawthorn hasn’t bulked up since his million-dollar fundraising spree on the heels of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
After losing another $41,300 since January, the Cawthorn campaign only holds about $282,000, a little more than half its stash this time last year. And he’s sapped whatever firepower he might hold in his other committees, in the process rankling potential allies.
To round out the current on-hand totals, Gaetz—a three-term incumbent—sits on about $1.6 million. Boebert has around $2.2 million. And Greene anchors the crew with $3 million in the bank.
It’s not immediately clear if a unified theory can explain the sputter. Each candidate can claim their own recent plagues.
