Rep. Elisabeth Epp’s primary challenger has outraised the incumbent House legislator, securing key endorsements from colleagues and maximum contributions from several current Democratic legislators.
Sean Camacho raked in the top dollars, pulling over $58,000 between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2023, the most recent campaign finance reporting period showed.
His campaign chest counted contributions from fellow Democratic lawmakers, and, more notably, from leadership funds, which are set up to raise money to help Democrats keep their legislative seats and try and win others.
All told, 17 current state lawmakers — including 11 of Epps’ fellow House Democrats — have endorsed Camacho, a nearly unprecedented show of support for someone challenging an incumbent.
