Pence also has nearly twice as much cash on hand as Gregg.  His campaign reported having more than $5.5 million in the bank.  Gregg reported having $2.85 million.

In other statewide races, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Tony Bennett reported raising more than $341,000 in the second quarter and reported having nearly $780,000 in cash on hand. His Democratic opponent Glenda Ritz, reported raising nearly $37,000 and having slightly more than $24,000 on hand.
