FEC reports: Trone’s millions lead the way, House numbers offer some clues and some mysteries

U.S. Rep. David Trone (D-6th) has already spent more than $4.7 million on his campaign for U.S. Senate — about half of it on cable TV ads and other significant sums on digital advertising and slick campaign mailers. Trone’s expenditures in the early weeks of the 2024 open-seat Senate race dwarf the spending of his chief rivals for the Democratic nomination, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando, and have been fueled largely by his own fortune.
