ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland Republican Party has reported raising about $750,000 for Larry Hogan’s gubernatorial bid in the latest reporting period.

Joe Cluster, the executive director of the party, said Friday that about $625,000 has been spent. That leaves a balance of about $125,000 for Hogan.

Hogan is using public campaign financing, limiting him to $2.6 million in state funding.

However, the party can spend an additional $1.8 million for Hogan. Cluster says the party reported raising a total of about $780,000 in the period, with a portion used to pay party expenses.

A fundraiser headlined by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie last month helped raise more than $400,000 for Hogan.

The reporting period is for Aug. 20 to Oct. 19.
