Republican candidate for Iowa attorney general Brenna Findley entered the final two weeks of the campaign having outspent Democratic incumbent Tom Miller 2-to-1 in the past three months.

Findley also raised $513,000 more than Miller, and had a cash balance of almost $85,000 larger than his, thanks to a large infusion of cash from Iowa’s Republican Party.

The Republican Party of Iowa contributed seven checks that added up to $547,500 to Findley from July 15 through Oct. 14. The money helped finance a steady advertising presence for Findley, a 34-year old lawyer from Dexter. Miller has been attorney general since 1979, except for 1991 to 1995, after running unsuccessfully for governor.

Findley outspent Miller $661,251 to $298,603 during the period, mainly as a result of advertising. Findley spent just short of $564,000 on advertising, while Miller spent $225,000 on advertising, according to reports filed Tuesday with the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board.
