MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Campaign finance reports show Democrat Kathleen Falk raised about $977,000 since the beginning of the year in bid to unseat Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

Reports filed Monday show Falk raised $977,059 between Jan. 1 and April 23. She initially said she had raised $1 million since the beginning of the year.

The reports said she spent $884,859 and had $118,062 on hand.

Walker, meanwhile, reported raising $13 million between Jan. 18 and April 23.

Falk is one of five candidates running in a May 8 Democratic primary. Walker will face Arthur Kohl-Riggs in next week's Republican recall primary. The general election is on June 5.
