Cline leads the fundraising race while Lewis sees heavy small donor support

State Del. Ben Cline R-24 holds the lead in fundraising for the 6th district of Virginia federal congressional race.

Cline leads with a significant portion of his individual contributions coming from donations in the size of $2,000 or more. But Democratic nominee Jennifer Lewis of Waynesboro had many of her donations come from individual contributions of $200 or less. In November, one of the candidates will take congressman Bob Goodlatte's seat, which he has held since 1992.
