Brownback reports more than $2 million in fundraising for governor’s race

Topeka ? A spokeswoman says U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback has raised more than $2 million in his campaign for Kansas governor.

Brownback is the leading GOP candidate in the governor’s race.

Spokeswoman Sherriene (SHER’-een) Jones-Sontag said Friday that Brownback raised more than $500,000 from Jan. 1 through Thursday. That’s in addition to more than $1.5 million Brownback raised last year.

Jones-Sontag says final figures will be available Monday, when candidates for state office must file campaign finance reports with the secretary of state.

On the Democratic side of the governor’s race, a spokesman said state Sen. Tom Holland will disclose his totals Monday but has met his goals.
