Allen said the party is contributing to his race in other ways, helping set up fundraisers, working phone banks and organizing get-out-thevote campaigns.
In documents filed with the state election board July 15, Allen reported total contributions of more than $1 million, and expenditures of more than $990,000.
Mary Sue Terry, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, had raised nearly $4 million, more than three times as much as Allen. Her campaign had spent more than $1 million, according to the financial reports.
Terry has received thousands of dollars from political action committees across the nation, as well as substantial donations from corporations and individuals across the state.
In spite of Terry’s flush coffers, the Virginia Democratic Party chipped in with $49,000, the documents showed.
Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr., who is seeking reelection, reported an in-kind contribution of $5,000 from the Virginia Democratic Party.
