OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Washington Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna is reporting a $1.2 million fundraising haul from May.

McKenna's campaign said Tuesday night that he had $3.2 million cash on hand entering the month of June. McKenna had been largely unable to raise money during the first few months of the year, and he says the campaign now has fundraising momentum.

Democratic candidate Jay Inslee has not reported May fundraising numbers yet.
