Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) topped $1 million in the hotly-contested primary race against his House colleague Rep. Donna F. Edwards (D-Md.) to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) in the U.S. Senate.
Van Hollen is poised to widen the cash gap with Edwards, who has struggled to raise the same kind of money but has shown some strength in recent polling.
