Henry Sets New Record At $4.8 Million

Governor Brad Henry raised $4,826,577 for his 2006 reelection bid, his final report with the Ethics Commission shows. That's about $1.2 million more than the $3.6 million he raised in 2002 and set a new fundraising record for a gubernatorial campaign.

The governor spent $3,992,558 in defeating Republican Ernest Istook. Henry ended the election with $755,659 on hand, his filing shows.

Henry's report shows he spent $535,504 on advertising in the final two week of the campaign.

Istook raised about $1.6 million and apparently ended the campaign with a debt.
