Kilgore has run circles around Fitch in terms of fund raising.
The former attorney general reported more than $7.2 million in donations through the end of March, according to the latest financial filings. Nearly 11 percent of that had come from Northern Virginia.
Fitch reported raising almost $155,000 through March.

Potts, the so-called Independent Republican, was pulling in more donations than Fitch by more than a 2to-1 ratio.
Democrat Kaine held a slight advantage over the entire field, reporting $8 million in contributions through March.
