ATLANTA (AP) - Campaign finance reports for Georgia's crowded gubernatorial field are trickling in.
Republican state Sen. Eric Johnson of Savannah raised nearly $963,000 since he entered the race in April. Secretary of State Karen Handel said she raised more than $430,000 for her bid for Georgia's top spot. And state Rep. Austin Scott has raised about $180,000 in his bid.
Long-shot GOP candidate Ray McBerry has also raised about $18,000.
None of the four Democrats running - former Gov. Roy Barnes, Former Georgia National Guard commander David Poythress, House Minority Leader DuBose Porter and Attorney General Thurbert Baker - had filed yet.
Ditto for two other GOP contenders: Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine and U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal.
