I believe there is a stat that 85-90% of the winners in electoral races are the party who spends more money. Kind of sad, but that’s reality.

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.
