Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein raised 11 times as much as his Republican opponent Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in the North Carolina gubernatorial contest during the third quarter, according to the latest campaign finance reports.

Stein received $44.6 million in the fundraising period between July 1 and Oct. 19 while Robinson brought in about $4 million. Reports for the third quarter were due earlier this week.

The Democrat's bank account already greatly exceeded Robinson's heading into the final fundraising period before the election.

Stein also spent nearly six times more than Robinson during the period. The attorney general reported expending about $59 million, listing ad buys, payroll, campaign merchandise, software fees, and the like.
