West Virginia has hundreds of legislative candidates this year, and they amassed more than $3.2 million heading into Tuesday's primary.

According to the latest available campaign finance reports, the various state Senate and House of Delegates hopefuls had spent $1.6 million of that total by late April.

About a half-dozen legislative primary contests have twice as many candidates as there are seats in that district. But there are also plenty of unopposed primary candidates as well.

As a result, the median amount raised pre-primary by House candidates has been $4,050, and $10,175 for Senate candidates. Spending medians have been even lower: $3,754 for Senate candidate and $995 for their House counterparts.
