Montgomery, AL – Bradley Byrne is the leading fundraiser among candidates for governor.
Campaign finance reports, including new ones filed Thursday, show the Baldwin County Republican has raised $4.8 million and spent $4.7 million since launching his campaign last year.
Republican Tim James has reported spending nearly $4.4 million, but $3.2 million of that came from loans that the candidate and three supporters made to the campaign.
Republican Robert Bentley has listed more than $1.4 million in expenditures. Much of that came from personal loans to the campaign. Former Chief Justice Roy Moore reports about $620,000 in expenditures.
Among Democrats, Artur Davis has spent nearly $2.6 million and Ron Sparks nearly $1.9 million.
