Idaho Republican Vaughn Ward is significantly outspending primary opponent Raul Labrador but the winner of their May 25 primary will begin the general election race at a big fundraising disadvantage to one-term Rep. Walt Minnick (D).
Ward is a former CIA officer and Senate aide. He’s the preferred candidate of the National Republican Congressional Committee, raised $57,000 and spent $221,000 from April 1 through May 5, according to an updated report his campaign filed late Thursday with the Federal Election Commission. He had $126,000 left in his campaign account.
