Calvey, of Oklahoma City, had nearly $193,000 in the bank Aug. 4, compared with $56,000 for Lankford, of Edmond.

The most recent reports covered the period between July 8 and Aug. 4 — about three weeks before the July 27 primary through a week after that contest, in which Lankford edged Calvey and five other Republicans were eliminated.

Lankford bested the primary even though Calvey and former state Rep. Mike Thompson had raised far more money.
