July 2021 Group Watch: Gov & Lt. Gov Already Raising Big Bucks for Re-election
Governor Kay Ivey reportedly has raised $1.2 million in her bid for re-election. Her sizable war chest could deter challengers from either side of the aisle in the 2022 election. In a bit of saber-rattling, her campaign made the figure known ahead of mandatory election filings. Likewise, Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth announced that his campaign raised a historic $911,370 in the month of June. Ainsworth sees his early fundraising success as a product of the support he has enjoyed across the state.
