LUMBERTON — Republicans who represent rural southeastern North Carolina in the state legislature have raised significantly more money than their Democratic challengers ahead of the November election.

With less than four months until Election Day, incumbent legislators from Bladen, Columbus, Robeson and Scotland counties are out-performing opponents in the cash race, according to campaign finance reports released by the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Monday. That includes Republican Sens. Danny Britt, Brent Jackson and Bill Rabon, and Republican Reps. William Brisson, Brendan Jones and Jarrod Lowery.

Rep. Garland Pierce, an incumbent, is the only Democrat representing the region. He has raised more money than his Republican challenger.

Statewide, Democrats have raised more money than their Republican opponents in the races for governor, lieutenant governor and state schools superintendent. Republicans hold fundraising advantages in the races for state treasurer, state auditor and agriculture commissioner.

Here’s a breakdown of how local state legislative campaigns are faring so far. The latest fundraising period was Feb. 18 through June 30.
