#ncga: In HD-40, Avila (R) leading incumbent John (D) in $$$ chase

This rematch of 2016 appears to be looking a little more favorable toward Marilyn Avila.  She lost her Raleigh-based seat to Democrat Joe John that year in a race heavily targeted by state Democrats and liberal groups.

Campaign reports for 2018 show John raising $29,645 in the first quarter and $16,799.42 for the second quarter.  THAT is a total of $46,444.42 for the year.

Avila, by comparison, raised $27,494.55 in the first quarter and $30,625 for the second quarter.  THAT is a total haul of $58,119.55 for the year.
