How Much Does It Cost to Run (and Win)?

Let’s face it. You need money to win. How much? I suppose we’ll know with some specificity on November 5th. But in the meantime – here are my general guesses about what the winning candidates will have spent by office.

State Rep: You need $40,000 to run decent campaign.

State Senate: $60 – $80 k

2nd Tier Statewide (e.g. Lt. Governor/Insurance Commissioner): $300 – $400k

1st Tier Statewide: (Governor/US Congress) $1 million.
