Hoeber continues to dominate the fundraising race among her Republican colleagues. I could not find any updated FEC reports for David Vogt or Frank Howard.

Terry Baker has shown he is also capable of raising money; a much better quarter for Baker, whose primary support is centered in Washington County – the epicenter of the 6th Congressional District.

According to the 2015 and 2016 FEC reports, Hoeber could mount a serious financial challenge to John Delaney in a November general election, thus returning the the 6th Congressional District back into Republican hands.
