Costly Congress

Before the final vote is cast, the upcoming 6/20/17 special election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District will be, by far, the most expensive US Representative race in history, with total spending as of 5/25/17 of $37 million. The previous high watermark of $29.5 million was set in 2012 in Florida’s 18th CD. In third place; the 2016 race for Florida’s 18th CD which resulted in $26.6 million in total spending.
