Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe is in a dominant financial position in his bid to return to the Executive Mansion, according to reports compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project.
McAuliffe, governor from 2014 to 2018, raised nearly $6.2 million last year and had $5.5 million in cash as of the year-end financial report, far outpacing his Democratic and Republican rivals.
McAuliffe, one of five Democrats seeking the partyâs nomination in a June primary, first made his name in the national party as a prolific fundraiser.
His top individual contribution in his new bid for governor was $250,000 from Sanjay Govil, chairman of the board at Infinite Computer Solutions and CEO of Zyter Inc.
