Josh Hicks, the leading Democratic candidate to take on Congressman Andy Barr in the fall, out-raised Barr in the latest fund-raising period.

While Barr is still way ahead in total money raised and in cash on hand, the fact that Hicks matched him in fund-raising in the latest report shows a significant surge in interest in Hicks’s campaign.

Here are the pertinent numbers:

Raised in latest report:

  • Hicks – $252,237
  • Barr – $189,699

Cash on hand:

  • Hicks – $595,195
  • Barr – $1,778,589
