Robert Pittenger loaned his lieutenant gubernatorial campaign $1.2 million this month.
That brings the total the Charlotte Republican and his wife have loaned to $1.7 million. That's almost half the nearly $4.2 million he has raised during his campaign, Jim Morrill reports.
It's unclear how much Pittenger's Democratic opponent, Walter Dalton, has raised. His latest report has yet to be posted on the state board of elections Web site.
Through June, Dalton had raised $1.5 million. He had taken out no loans.
Pittenger has spent $2.5 million on TV ads, according to his report.
