Portland activist Steve Novick has passed the $1 million mark in fundraising for his U.S. Senate campaign.
He still trails Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkley, who has raised $1.8 million so far.
The two Democrats have been spending much of their money on TV ads as the primary campaign enters its final weeks.
Campaign reports show that Merkley had $151,000 cash on hand at the end of April, compared with $66,000 for Novick.
The winner of the May 20th primary gets to take on Republican Sen. Gordon Smith, who has already raised $8.5 million, according to his latest filing.
