What to know about the latest federal fundraising data from N.H. candidates

The latest quarterly fundraising numbers published this week by the Federal Election Commission offered a fresh opportunity for candidates in New Hampshire to make the case that they possess the momentum and firepower they will need to succeed, with less than eight weeks until the primaries.

Here are some of the most interesting developments:

Anthony DiLorenzo has made no secret of the fact that he’s largely self-funding his Republican candidacy for New Hampshire’s First Congressional District. The $1 million he brought in this quarter included $850,000 in loans from himself.

DiLorenzo, who snagged President Trump’s endorsement this week, said his own resources and business experience are part of what make him the best-equipped candidate to take on Democrats this fall. He has loaned more than $1.6 million to his campaign, which had $1.2 million in cash on hand when the quarter ended June 30, according to his FEC filing. (Candidates can contribute as much as they want to their own campaigns.)

One of DiLorenzo’s opponents, Melissa Bailey, suspended her campaign Thursday and endorsed him for the GOP nomination. But two other notable candidates, Brian Cole and Hollie Noveletsky, are staying in the race.

Cole, a state representative, reported $113,000 in receipts this quarter, including a $100,000 contribution from himself. He has brought in $483,000 so far this cycle, including $334,000 in self-loans. His campaign had $126,000 left in cash on hand at the end of the quarter, according to his FEC filing.

Noveletsky, a pro-Trump businesswoman who finished second in the GOP’s 2024 primary for this seat, appears to be DiLorenzo’s top rival. She reported $110,000 in receipts this quarter. She has brought in $551,000 so far, including a $100,000 loan from herself. Her campaign finished the quarter with $292,000 in cash on hand.

Maura Sullivan is again the top fund-raiser in the Democratic primary for the First Congressional District, bringing in $695,000 in the second quarter, which her campaign said adds to the evidence of “significant momentum” at the outset of summer. Her campaign had $1.6 million in cash on hand.

Stefany Shaheen, who brought in $407,000, has been out-raised several quarters in a row. Still, her team said more Granite Staters have contributed to her campaign than to any of her opponents, demonstrating her “unmatched grassroots support.” Her campaign had $1.2 million in cash on hand.

Public opinion polling suggests Shaheen still holds the lead in this race, followed by Sullivan, though nearly half of likely Democratic primary voters remained undecided, as of late June, according to the Saint Anselm College Survey Center.

Christian Urrutia brought in $203,000 this quarter, meaning he has amassed more than $1 million in cycle-to-date total receipts, according to his FEC filing. That includes about $88,000 he loaned to his campaign, which had $220,000 left in cash on hand.

Carleigh Beriont reported $121,000 in receipts this quarter. She has brought in $506,000 so far, and finished the quarter with $77,000 in cash on hand.

Sarah Chadzynski brought in $30,000 this quarter and $132,000 so far. Her campaign finished the quarter with $5,000 left in the bank.

Heath Howard brought in $9,000 but spent more than double that. His campaign finished the quarter nearly $10,000 in the red.

The latest cash-on-hand data show each of the front-runners for US Senate and the Second Congressional District possess a strong financial edge:

John E. Sununu finished the quarter with nearly $2.7 million, while Scott Brown had $736,000 in the Republican primary for US Senate.

Chris Pappas finished the quarter with nearly $5.2 million, while Karishma Manzur had $49,000 in the Democratic primary for US Senate.

Maggie Goodlander had $2.5 million, while her Democratic challenger, Paige Beauchemin, had less than $5,000. Her top Republican challenger, Lily Tang Williams, had $664,000 in the bank.
