Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, the Republican congresswoman from Battle Ground, dominated the first quarter of fundraising in a bid to defend her seat from three GOP challengers in the 2022 primary.
Campaigns are already up and running for Republicans looking to defeat the six-term incumbent who’s drawn criticism from the right flank of the party over her split with former President Donald Trump.
Based on the latest fundraising data reported to the Federal Elections Commission on April 15, Herrera Beutler’s impeachment vote helped her more than it hurt her.
She brought in $744,754 over the first three months of the year. That’s the most she’s ever raised in the first quarter of an election cycle — it’s also more than she raised in the first quarter of her last five elections combined.
