SEATTLE -- The campaign to uphold the state's gay marriage law raised $2.8 million in cash contributions over the past six weeks.

According to filings posted with the Public Disclosure Commission on Tuesday, Washington United for Marriage has raised a total of more than $10 million in cash and in-kind donations for its campaign, compared to the more than $1.8 million raised by Preserve Marriage Washington, which is trying to overturn the new law. Preserve Marriage's latest fundraising report had not yet posted to the PDC site.

R-74 asks voters to either approve or reject the law passed earlier this year that allows same-sex marriage in the state. That law is on hold pending a November vote.
