HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s campaign spending record was beaten after weeks of heavy TV advertising by the gubernatorial candidates pushed the cost of the race past $73 million.

For the last five weeks, the campaigns of Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and Democrat Tom Wolf reported $11 million more in combined spending Friday, the deadline to file final pre-election campaign finance reports with the state.

Counting the four-way Democratic Party primary, spending on the race beat the previous record of nearly $70 million set during the campaign in the 2002 gubernatorial election, won by Democrat Ed Rendell.

Rendell still holds the individual spending record. He spent more than $40 million to win the primary and general elections in 2002.

In the five-week period that ended Monday, Wolf reported raising $3.2 million and spending nearly $6.8 million, leaving him with $3 million in the bank with two weeks before the Nov. 4 election. Wolf has spent a total of nearly $28 million. Corbett reported raising $2.9 million and spending $4.4 million during the same five weeks, leaving him with $3.2 million. He has spent almost $24 million.

Wolf received almost $1 million in the five weeks from labor unions, pushing their total contribution past $5 million. Wolf’s family already has given about $1.3 million. Wolf himself remains his biggest donor, having given his campaign $10 million.

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania, already one of Corbett’s biggest donors, kicked in $745,000, bringing its total to more than $1 million. Corbett’s biggest donor remains the Republican Governors Association, headed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. It has given nearly $6 million.
