Jim Jordan has more campaign cash than any other House Republican. Here’s how much all Ohio’s Representatives have

WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Running for the U.S. House of Representatives takes big bucks. The state's U.S. House of Representatives members routinely raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to campaign for re-election. Since raising his national profile during the administration of President Donald Trump, pugnacious Champaign County Republican Rep. Jim Jordan raised far more money than his counterparts who represent other Ohio congressional districts.

Federal Election Commission reports filed Monday show that Jordan -- the House Judiciary Committee's top Republican -- had more campaign cash in the bank at the end of 2021 than any other Republican U.S. House of Representatives member who is seeking re-election. Jordan's $8,532,374 exceeded House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy's $8,350,153 bankroll, according to statistics compiled by Political MoneyLine.

Several Democratic U.S. House of Representatives members had even more cash than Jordan. California's Adam Schiff, who chairs the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and has frequent public clashes with Jordan, had the most money in the bank: $16,766,437. California's Katherine Porter had $16,124,908, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey had $12,012,196 and Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois had $11,550,540, Political MoneyLine's tally shows.

The rest of Ohio's incumbent U.S. House of Representatives members seeking re-election trailed far behind. Jordan had more than five times as much cash on hand as Ohio's runner-up, Columbus Democrat Joyce Beatty, who had $1,491,041. Here's a list of how much money each of them had in the bank at the end of 2021:
