Gov. Sam Brownback’s re-election campaign has raised $2.2 million since July 25, but $200,000 came out of his own checking account.

Another $500,000 came from his running mate, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, a loan that has gone back and forth from Colyer’s account to the campaign’s several times.

The loans from Brownback and Colyer put the governor’s fundraising total over that of Democratic challenger Paul Davis, who raised about $2 million during the same period. If the loans are excluded, Davis outraised Brownback.

Colyer, a plastic surgeon, has loaned Brownback’s campaign a total of $500,000 this election cycle. But he’s given that amount at three different times.
