Trone’s spending from his personal fortune exceeds $40 million in latest Senate race disclosure report

U.S. Rep. David Trone (D-Potomac)—who has repeatedly vowed to spend “what it takes” to win Maryland’s open Senate seat—continues to put his money where his mouth is, according to reports filed late Monday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Trone—co-owner of Total Wine & More, a nationwide chain of alcohol beverage retail outlets—pumped another $18.5 million in personal funds into his campaign during the first three months of this year, bringing the total amount of money for which he has reached into his own pocket to underwrite his Senate bid to more than $41.7 million.
