RICHMOND, VA - Continuing the trend of Democratic candidates in Virginia outraising their Republican opponents, Democratic committees today announced massive fundraising numbers ahead of the pivotal elections on November 5. 

From July - September, the money that seven statewide Democratic committees raised shows Democrats have the momentum and energy on their side:

The strength of Democratic fundraising in the third quarter follows the trend of Democrats massively outraising Republicans.
