While Stephen Zappala’s campaign for Attorney General was pleased to announce he has over $1 million in cash on hand, Josh Shapiro crushed the Allegheny County DA in the first fundraising cycle of 2016.

Shapiro brought in $2,005,135 from Jan. 1st to Mar. 7th and spent almost $200K during that period. Shapiro’s massive haul in his campaign’s first financial report was thanks, in large part, to his 2015 campaign for Montgomery County commissioner – which kicked in over $1.2 million.

Zappala’s campaign posted solid numbers for the first cycle, raising more than $611K. Zappala now has $1,005,390 in cash and spent almost $108K in the first 10 weeks of the year – though he does have almost $250K in outstanding debts and obligations.

“Our fundraising kept pace with that of our nearest competitor, who had nearly $1.5 million banked even before his campaign started and who has, regrettably, been using his position as an elected official to raise thousands of dollars from vendors and contractors dependent on his vote to do business,” Zappala campaign manager Marty Marks said.

Northampton County DA John Morganelli is now sitting on $607K after bringing in $118,290 in the first cycle of 2016. Morganelli seems to be saving for the final push, spending just over $23K.
