HELENA — Gov. Steve Bullock has more than $1.4 million to spend in his re-election campaign, while his Republican challenger, Greg Gianforte, has about $133,000 left after spending heavily in the first months of the governor’s race.
Campaign finance reports filed with the state on Monday also show that Gianforte gave his campaign another $100,000. In all, the Bozeman businessman has contributed $500,000 toward his bid for governor.
Monday’s filing reports were the first since the state’s June 7 primary elections and cover the period between May 28 and June 22.
Gianforte has spent more than $1.6 million since launching his campaign, while Bullock has spent $554,000.
While Gianforte might have drawn down much of the $1.8 million he’s raised, he can tap into his personal wealth to help finance his campaign.
