SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Newly filed campaign finance reports show the Republican candidates for statewide office are lagging Democrats in every race, while candidates in the contest that is believed to be the closest, the nonpartisan race for schools superintendent, are more closely matched.

With four weeks remaining before the Nov. 4 election, the two Democrats competing for Superintendent of Public Instruction are campaigning hard. Marshall Tuck, the former head of a Los Angeles charter schools system, has outraised incumbent Tom Torlakson in the race so far. Tuck has nearly $700,000 left after raising $1.6 million, while Torlakson has $609,000 after raising $1.4 million this year.
