Topeka ? In what is expected to be one of the most hotly contested political races of the year, Democratic candidate for attorney general Paul Morrison said Saturday that he has raised more than $1 million in his effort to unseat incumbent Republican Phill Kline.

Morrison, the Johnson County district attorney, switched from being a Republican to a Democrat to run against Kline in the November general election.

Kline is expected to announce his totals Monday, the deadline for candidates to file campaign finance reports. Neither Kline nor Morrison face a challenger in the Aug. 1 primaries.
