Alabama Governor Robert Bentley has raised almost $2 million for his re-election campaign, according to campaign finance reports filed this week.

The reports show the Republican incumbent raised more than $547,000 in September, making it his second-highest fundraising month of the 2014 election cycle, so far. Since June, Governor Bentley’s re-election campaign has raised $1,965,453 in total contributions.

For comparison, Bentley raised roughly $3.3 million for his entire 2010 campaign. He’s already two-thirds of the way there in his first four months running as the incumbent.

Bentley says his administration’s efforts to create jobs and downsize government have led to the outpouring of support.

“We work hard everyday to create jobs for the people of this state”, Bentley said. “Alabama’s unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the southeast and lower than the national rate, we’ve worked hard to right-size government, without raising taxes. I think the people of this state see how hard we’ve worked the last three years, and I thank them for their support of my re-election campaign.”

Bentley’s campaign reported an ending balance of $1,891,595 cash-on-hand for the month of September. On average, Bentley has raised roughly $500 thousand per month since the fundraising window opened on June 3, 2013.

Here is a breakdown of the past four months of Bentley campaign fundraising:

June 2013- $422,915.50
July 2013 – $587,094.75
August 2013 – $401,476.52
September 2013 – $553,966.28
