Yesterday, we brought you our quarterly House fundraising roundup, in which we gathered up fundraising numbers for some 370-odd candidates in all the key congressional races around the country. Today we're crunching some of those numbers to take a look at which challengers outraised incumbents, and which have more cash-on-hand than the members of Congress they're trying to unseat. First up, the challengers who beat their opponents in the second quarter of the year (all numbers in thousands). You can click column headers to sort:

As you can see, the list of high-performing challengers is mostly populated by Democrats, but that makes sense, since there are more vulnerable Republicans up for re-election this year than the reverse. Next up is the even more elite crew of challengers who have banked more cash than the incumbents they're facing ("CoH" = cash-on-hand):
| CD | Challenger | Party | CoH | Incumbent | Party | CoH |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CA-03 | Kim Dolbow Vann | (R) | $223 | John Garamendi | (D) | $216 |
| CA-07 | Ami Bera | (D) | $1,439 | Dan Lungren | (R) | $1,157 |
| FL-10 | Val Demings | (D) | $587 | Daniel Webster | (R) | $538 |
| FL-24 | Rudy Moise | (D) | $162 | Frederica Wilson | (D) | $156 |
| HI-01 | Charles Djou | (R) | $502 | Colleen Hanabusa | (D) | $499 |
| IL-08 | Tammy Duckworth | (D) | $788 | Joe Walsh | (R) | $723 |
| IN-08 | Dave Crooks | (D) | $530 | Larry Bucshon | (R) | $387 |

| NJ-07 | Upendra Chivukula | (D) | $434 | Leonard Lance | (R) | $385 |
| NY-24 | Dan Maffei | (D) | $880 | Ann Marie Buerkle | (R) | $765 |
| PA-12 | Keith Rothfus | (R) | $645 | Mark Critz | (D) | $428 |
Finally, we've conducted similar analyses for the nine remaining incumbent-vs.-incumbent matchups, seven of which are primaries and two of which are general-election fights between one Democrat and one Republican. Head below the fold for our charts.
