Financial disclosures for the first quarter of 2026 reveal a markedly large gap between the candidates with the most cash balance for Legislative District 8 and those who are trailing behind.
Meanwhile, the lone GOP candidate for the LD8 state house race, Donald Hawker, has reported zero campaign funds or expenses of any kind.
The reports, covering Jan. 1 through March 31, show incumbent Democratic state Sen. Lauren Kuby with a massive lead in cash balance, while incumbent Democratic state house candidate Janeen Connolly has the second most cash on hand.
