Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) reports he’s raised $613,627 in the first quarter, which is slightly less than the $629,615 in outside contributions raised by Democratic candidate Roxanne Conlin.
But Grassley reports he has more than $5.3 million in cash on hand — compared to Conlin’s $1 million.
The TPM Poll Average shows Grassley leading Conlin 54.8% to 35.4% in a potential general election matchup.
The Iowa primary will be held June 8, and the general election will take place on November 2.
