In just six weeks, Ohio voters head to the polls to pick their party’s nominees, and the U.S. Senate race is one of the most hotly contested of the March 19 primary election. Last week the candidates turned in their year-end campaign finance reports.

Candidates for the Ohio U.S. Senate seat up for election next year filed campaign finance reports over the weekend. Six months out from the primary, Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown is dramatically outraising his Republican opponents. With $11.2 million on hand, Brown also has a substantial cash advantage — at least for the moment.
