Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has raised more than three times as much money as her Democratic opponent Joe Dorman, but the latest campaign finance reports show Dorman has kept pace during the last few months.

Contribution and expenditure reports due by midnight Tuesday show Dorman raised more than $785,000 during the period from Aug. 12 to Oct. 20. During the same stretch, Fallin raised a little more — about $822,000.

Overall, Fallin has raised more than $4.4 million in her race for another four-year term as governor while Dorman has collected a little more than $1.4 million.

Dorman and two independents are challenging Fallin for the governor's post.

Early in-person voting begins Thursday. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. next Tuesday.
