Freedom Caucus outraises Wyoming Caucus ahead of primary

As the Wyoming Republican Party’s two factions battle for control of the Legislature, one has out fundraised the other this year, while spending is just about even between the two groups.
That’s according to campaign finance reports due Tuesday with the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office.
This is the first election since both groups formed respective political action committees, or PACs — which allow for higher fundraising and spending limits than a candidate’s campaign committee.
The PAC associated with the hard-line Wyoming Freedom Caucus has raised about $168,000 since January, while the traditionalist Wyoming Caucus has raised approximately $104,000 during that same time period.
While the two PACS have spent about the same amount of money since January — the Freedom Caucus spent roughly $180,000, the Wyoming Caucus spent a little more than $199,000 — the two groups are using their dollars in different ways.
