Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has raised more money than any other governor in Virginia’s recent history. His political action committee (PAC), Spirit of Virginia, says it has $7 million cash on hand and has raised $4.4 million in the past few days alone.

The funds are being used to help elect Republican candidates for the state’s upcoming Nov. 7 elections, in which all 140 seats for the Virginia Senate and House are up for grabs.
