Some donors, when deciding which congressional candidates to support, put it all on red.

An executive with a dairy farm, the president of a major air conditioning business and a Republican national committeewoman chose to do just that during the last fundraising quarter, each deciding to back multiple Republican congressional candidates in the state’s two competitive House seats. Others, including a professional golfer and the head of a local public relations firm, went all blue.

Only six, including a managing partner at a major real estate development firm, a well-known Nevada lobbyist and the parent company of a medical marijuana dispensary, chose to hedge their bets and support candidates in both parties.

It’s not unusual to see early money pouring in from both sides of the Nevada’s 3rd and 4th congressional districts, Nevada’s two swing seats. Candidates in the two House districts reported raising a total of $1.1 million in between July and September, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission earlier this week.

Though the primary and general election are still months away, early success in fundraising can help make or break a campaign by setting the tone, helping candidates pay for staff, ads or polls and potentially clearing the field for the months of campaigning ahead.

Establishment Democrats have largely rallied around incumbent Rep. Ruben Kihuen in the 4th District and wealthy philanthropist Susie Lee in the 3rd District, and their fundraising totals showed it — Kihuen brought in more than $217,000 during the quarter with Lee raising the most of any state congressional candidate, bringing in a total of $315,178.

But Republican fundraising told a different story. Though Las Vegas City Councilman and District 4 candidate Stavros Anthony outpaced all competitors while raising $141,000, none of the Republican candidates vying for the state’s 3rd District have yet separated themselves from the pack, all with somewhat similar fundraising totals.

Former Assemblywoman Victoria Seaman is in the lead with $114,000 raised, buttressed by a $50,000 personal loan. State Sen. Scott Hammond raised $51,700, while former Clark County Republican Party chair Dave McKeon brought in $39,695. The field narrowed slightly when autism advocate and political newcomer Lynda Tache — who raised more than $51,000 — announced Monday that she’s withdrawing from the race.

But the donations candidates rake in don’t represent the full picture of how much money will be spent in a congressional race. More than $16 million in outside spending poured into Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District in 2016, in addition to the $5 million spent by candidates themselves. Democratic candidate Jacky Rosen ultimately narrowly defeated Republican Danny Tarkanian by less than 4,000 votes or a little more than a percentage point.

In the 4th district, Democrat Ruben Kihuen defeated Republican incumbent Cresent Hardy by about 10,000 votes or 4 percentage points. The two candidates spent more than $4 million themselves, with outside groups spending another $11 million.

Donors are limited to giving $2,700 to a single candidate per election, meaning the most an individual can give to a candidate in one election cycle is $5,400 for both the primary and general election.
