Pureval raised $660,000 in the first eight weeks after announcing his candidacy with nearly 80% of the money from people local to the district.

==Campaign==
Despite being the strongest challenger to Chabot since his congressional comeback in 2010, the Pureval campaign was hit with two significant controversies that impacted their chances.
Firstly, he was accused of spending funds from his clerk campaign account on expenances in relation to his house campaign, in violation of Ohio election law.{{cite web |author1=Sharon Coolidge |title=Aftab Pureval spent $30K from his clerk campaign account this year. Was some for his congressional race? |url=https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2018/08/02/election-2018-aftab-purevals-running-congress-but-spending-clerk-campaign-too/878254002/ |access-date=1 February 2023 |date=2 August 2018}}{{cite web |author1=Sharon Coolidge |title=Aftab Pureval on controversial poll: I'll 'remedy any issues.' |url=https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2018/09/26/aftabs-secret-poll-obtained-enquirer/1430234002/ |publisher=Cincinnati Enquirer |access-date=1 February 2023 |date=26 September 2018}} The Ohio Elections Commission dismissed 28 of 29 charges brought against the campaign, before issuing them a $100 fine for the single upheld charge (which had been caused by a clerical error).{{cite web |author1=Jessie Balmert |title=Aftab Pureval's campaign fined $100 for photography expense, rest of campaign finance complaint dismissed |url=https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/01/ohio-elections-commission-probe-democrat-aftab-purevals-spending-today/1807954002/ |publisher=Cincinnati Enquirer |access-date=1 February 2023 |date=1 November 2018}}
Secondly, a 22-year-old Pureval volunteer managed to infiltrate the Chabot campaign and gain access to a sensitive voter database.{{cite web |author1=Jason Williams |author2=Scott Wartman |title=Maps show Aftab Pureval volunteer accessed Steve Chabot campaign data from Clifton home, GOP says |url=https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/columnists/politics-extra/2018/10/30/2018-election-did-double-agent-breach-gop-data-help-aftab-pureval/1817101002/ |access-date=1 February 2023 |date=30 October 2018}} After the election Pureval would "take responsibility" for the volunteer's actions and formally apologized to Chabot.{{cite web |author1=Jessie Balmert |title=Pureval: 'I take responsibility' for volunteer who infiltrated Chabot campaign |url=https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/05/08/gop-asks-dismiss-complaint-against-pureval-volunteer-accused-illegally-infiltrating-chabot-campaign/2979270002/ |publisher=Cincinnati Enquirer |access-date=1 February 2023 |date=8 May 2019}}
