The increasingly contentious race to succeed Eleanor Holmes Norton as the District of Columbia’s House delegate just keeps getting more expensive.

D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto maintained her financial frontrunner status heading into this month, as her campaign raised more than $407,000 from January through March, according to its latest report to the Federal Election Commission.

Fellow D.C. Councilmember Robert White’s campaign reported raising $184,033 during the same period.
