ATLANTA (AP) -- Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue each raised over $4 million in contributions in the last three months, their strongest effort to date as the two battle for Georgia's open Senate seat.<br />
<br />
Neither campaign released how much cash each candidate has heading into the final stretch before the Nov. 4 election. Final reports are due Wednesday for the period ending Sept. 30.<br />
<br />
A Perdue spokeswoman said his total of about $4.8 million included a $500,000 personal contribution made before the July 22 runoff in which he defeated GOP Rep. Jack Kingston. The Nunn campaign said her total was $4.15 million.<br />
<br />
The race has gained national attention as Republicans look to take control of the Senate and can't afford to lose the Georgia seat, held by retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
