Democrat Tim Kaine turned in a strong second-quarter fundraising haul in the open Senate seat race in Virginia.

The former governor raised about $2.25 million from April to June, according to figures his campaign will release Monday. Kaine officially launched his campaign just after the second fundraising quarter began and has since been playing catch-up.

His likely general election rival George Allen (R), a former Senator and governor, raised $1.5 million in the first quarter and had more than $1.2 million on hand as of March 31. He has not yet released his second-quarter total.
