Jefferson City, Mo. – Matt Blunt and Jay Nixon are continuing to rake in the money for next year's gubernatorial election.
Campaign finance reports show the Republican governor raised more than $1 million during the past three months.
That includes a $250,000 from a Kirkwood-based political action committee that supports stem cell research.
Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon reports having raised more than $622,000.
As of the end of September, Blunt's campaign said it had $6 million on hand while Nixon's campaign said it had nearly half that.
However that gap could shrink if the Missouri Ethics Commission decides the candidates must return donations they received in excess of Missouri's contribution limits.
Blunt has significantly more at stake in potential refunds than Nixon.
