TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Campaign finance records show that the last candidate to enter the 2nd Congressional District race in Kansas collected more in contributions than any other Republican during the past quarter.

Six other GOP candidates in the Aug. 7 primary with state Senator Dennis Pyle of rural Hiawatha relied heavily on loans and personal funds from April through June.

But presumed Democratic nominee Paul Davis outstripped them all in the eastern Kansas district by raising $395,000 in contributions during the quarter.

Pyle reported raising $134,000 from contributions during the quarter.

State Senator Caryn Tyson of Parker raised nearly $56,000 in contributions during the quarter, and Army veteran Steve Watkins collected more than $54,000. State Senator Steve Fitzgerald of Leavenworth collected about $30,000.

All three raised larger amounts through personal funds and loans.
