Democrat Kay Hagan raised $2.6 million in her Senate campaign since the beginning of summer, her campaign said.
The $2.6 million she has raised since July 1 is in addition to the $3 million she had raised previously.
No word yet on how much Republican Elizabeth Dole has raised this summer. She had raised $11.2 million prior to July.
But Dole's big edge in fund raising has been countered by a multi-million TV advertising campaign by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee which has been airing commercials attacking Dole.
Colleen Flanagan, Hagan’s campaign spokeswoman, said that 85 percent of Hagan’s contributions during the past three months has come from individuals. She has also received 10,000 contributions online.
"It's an incredibly strong fundraising haul and indicative of the confidence folks across the state have in Kay and her ability to fix what’s broken in Washington," Flanangan said.

Re: Hagan raised $2.6m since summer
Ryan,
I guess when you call Colleen Flanagan to ask about the Hagan campaign, you just type verbatim the lies she spills.
Granted my 9 to 5 job allows me to spend a great deal of time on the internet and research useless facts, but this post has numerous outright lies that you are conveying as facts.
First of all, Hagan got more than 10,000 contributors online AFTER 10/1/08.
She did not reach this goal until later.
When I checked actblue on 10/1/08, she had only gotten 7,729 donors. That is a far stretch from 10,000, but I guess ACORN has been helping with the rest of the donors.
The Hagan campaign can not even be forthright and truth about how much money she raised...
How dishonest can you be?
