In our series of SSP Cash Power Rankings, we previously looked at House challengers running against incumbents and the most competitive Senate races. Now it's time to close the triangle and look at the cash-on-hand competitiveness of candidates running in open seat House races.
The one race that we've left out is MO-09. Due to a large primary field without a clear front-runner on both sides, that race would be difficult to place on our chart. In other races with undecided primaries, we've either included multiple candidates (e.g. WY-AL, NY-26, LA-04), or have decided to go with the clear front-runner only. The top-ranked race here is a special case, as Jamshad Wyne is the only GOP candidate to file a fundraising report in NY-13 so far -- we don't consider him to be the front-runner of anything (except for the loser's sweepstakes, perhaps), but he was our only choice.
