Reply to comment by MRichards18 in [Inquirer] The Philly mayor’s race is a money race, from thousands of small donations to a $5 million check by oliver_babish

That kind of stat is tricky, because so many races are relatively uncontested because of political geography (or gerrymandering). And I think it's more the case that money is contributed to the predicted winner rather than that spending of money causes the victory.
