Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1st, raised $415,274 in the quarter and more than $1.7 million in the cycle. Wittman, seeking his ninth full term after winning a special election in 2007, had almost $1.6 million in cash on hand at the end of March.
In contrast, two Democratic challengers trail Wittman badly. Herb Jones, who lost to Wittman two years ago, raised $45,796 in the quarter and $144,230 in the cycle. He reported a cash balance of $267,799 at the end of March. Leslie Mehta, a former civil rights lawyer who formally launched her campaign in early January, raised $129,966 in the quarter and $135,261 for the cycle. Mehta reported $76,298 in cash on hand at the end of March.
