The Democratic Governors Association has announced their strongest ever fundraising quarter — though it’s still not as good as their GOP counterparts at the Republican Governors Association, who have also seen a strong cash-flow.

The DGA raised $9.1 million in the second quarter, and has $22 million cash on hand. The DGA also announced that their fundraising in the first six months of this year was their strongest ever. Yesterday, the Republican Governors Association announced quarterly fundraising of $18.9 million, with $40 million cash on hand.

The gubernatorial races this year cover a huge majority of the country’s population, in addition to the high-profile races for Congress. And these races are even more important than they were four years ago — most of the governors elected this year will play a direct role in the redistricting that will come after this year’s Census.
