Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder has raised $3.5 million in the past two months, hiking his total to $11.6 million, far outdistancing Democratic rival Virg Bernero.
Campaign finance statements filed Friday with the state show the wealthy Ann Arbor businessman didn't give his campaign any money for the general election. In the primary election, he gave $6.1 million.
Bernero raised $744,000 from donors in the past two months and qualified for $1.1 million in public funds. He has raised $1.8 million in private funds since kicking off his campaign this year.
Snyder can't receive public funds because of the money he gave his campaign.
He reports having $2.3 million on hand as of last Sunday, while Bernero reports he had around $168,000.
