HARRISBURG — U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s campaign is heading into 2016 with nearly $10 million in the bank as the Republican seeks a second term representing Pennsylvania. The deadline to report is the end of January.

Toomey’s $9.6 million on hand means he padded his account by about $1 million in the three-month period and he has nearly $7 million more than he had at this point six years ago when he ran successfully for the seat.

His three potential Democratic Party challengers had less than $4 million combined when they last reported fundraising totals in October. Toomey’s campaign reported spending about $17 million for his successful 2010 race.
