Democratic candidates in the 15 Senate races NBC News rates as competitive raised $253 million from July through September. Their Republican rivals raised $56 million, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Republicans raised more in only one of those races: Minnesota, where Michele Tafoya is running against Peggy Flanagan, the state's lieutenant governor. GOP outside groups funded by megadonors are pouring money into ads to make up the gap, NBC reports.
