INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels continues to have a big campaign cash advantage over Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jill Long Thompson.

Campaign reports released Tuesday show Long Thompson raised almost as much as Daniels in the most-recent reporting period, taking in about $1.6 million from April 1 through June 30 as Daniels raised about $1.82 million.

But Daniels began the reporting period with nearly $5.3 million, compared with just $484,000 for Long Thompson. And despite prepaying for television commercials through August, Daniels reported having more than $2.8 million cash on hand. Long Thompson had about $1 million left.

Daniels has been running TV ads nonstop since before the May primary, even though he didn't have a Republican opponent. Long Thompson won a close primary contest over Jim Schellinger for the Democratic nomination.
