Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s (D-Va.) gubernatorial campaign said Monday it raised $6.7 million in the first quarter of the year. 

The haul included more than 50,000 donations of $100 or less in the first three months of the year, according to the Spanberger campaign.

The campaign said the haul is the largest amount ever raised by a Virginia statewide candidate in the first quarter of an election year. 

Last week Spanberger was confirmed as the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, teeing up a match-up against Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R). On Sunday, Earle-Sears was confirmed as the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee. 

A Roanoke College poll released last month showed 39 percent of registered voters said they backed Spanberger for governor, while 24 percent said they supported Earle-Sears; 4 percent said they would vote for someone else. 

A previous poll from Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy released in January showed Earle-Sears trailing Spanberger by a more narrow margin, 47 percent to 44 percent, with 9 percent in that poll saying they were undecided. 

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up.
