Heading into the 2024 state election season, only two lawmakers hold over $1 million combined in their campaign and PAC accounts.
House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, leads the way with $1.3 million combined in his campaign account and political action committee, Cam PAC.
Rep. Justin Jones has just over $1 million in his campaign account. As of February 1, the Nashville Democrat who raised most of his money following his expulsion in April, hasn’t formed a PAC.
Senate speaker Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, and Sen. Ken Yager, R-Kingston, aren’t far behind Jones.
McNally has around $953,000 in his campaign and political action committee (McPAC) accounts, while Yager has over $962,000 in his accounts. Yager’s political action committee is called KeyPAC.
The latest cash reports come from campaign finance reports due at the end of January covering the last six months.
