Nunes opponent raises over $100k in campaign donations amid memo controversy
The Democratic prosecutor challenging Rep. Devin Nunes (R) for his California House seat has raised more than $100,000 over the past two days amid the release of Nunes’ controversial memo, according to the campaign.
A campaign spokesperson for Andrew Janz confirmed to The Hill that Janz’s campaign raised $111,506 over Thursday and Friday, and $54,394 on Friday alone.
"Our dramatic increase in contributions is a direct reflection of Nunes's actions,” said Janz campaign manager Heather Greven. “[Nunes] has given Andrew's campaign the best gift we could have received, he put a national target on his back and has made this a top 5 race. He is doing everything possible to make this a winnable race for us."
A recent poll from left-leaning Public Policy Polling showed a generic Democratic candidate within a five-point margin of Nunes. However, Nunes’ district leans strongly Republican and President Trump won it by near-double digits. The sitting congressman has far out-raised Janz so far in the race, ending the year with $3.8 million in cash on hand, according to Federal Elections Commission records.
