RICHMOND -- As they head into the final month before the Nov. 4 election, Republican legislative candidates have raised more than twice as much money as their Democratic counterparts.

GOP candidates reported bringing in more than $13.5 million for their campaigns for the House of Delegates and the state Senate.

Democratic contenders collected slightly more than $6.2 million as of Aug. 31, according to a Richmond Times-Dispatch analysis of the most recent campaign finance reports filed with the state and provided to the Virginia Public Access Project.

Voters will decide on all 100 House and 40 Senate seats this election, though fewer than half of the incumbents face challengers.
