CHARLESTON (AP) - In a possible bid for governor, state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey says he raised more than $310,000 over two months and has $546,000 in cash.
In a news release Thursday, Morrisey said the totals account for a late January fundraising start.
Morrisey's campaign says he may use the cash for re-election, or seek the open governor's seat next year.
