PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — U.S. Sen. John Thune and U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem, both up for re-election in 2016, have substantial cash reserves more than a year-and-a-half ahead of Election Day.

Recently released 2014 year-end Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports show Thune sitting on $9.7 million and Noem had roughly $800,000, her strongest start to an election cycle since she first ran in 2010.

Thune’s campaign declined to comment on his reserves. Noem raised nearly $2.4 million through the end of 2014 and spent more than $1.6 million.

U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds ended 2014 with about $80,000 in the bank and $136,000 in debt. Rounds raised nearly $5.2 million through the end of 2014 and spent about $5 million.
