The report by the secretary of the Senate showed that Cranston, who is running for reelection next year, topped the list by spending $1.6 million on newsletters in the three months ending Sept. 30. Specter was second among the 100 senators with newsletter costs of more than $789,000, and Heinz was third with costs of $646,000.
