Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate  Ed Gillespie  started to close a financial gap with Democratic rival Ralph Northam in October  new filings show.
 Gillespie  raised $9.7 million between Oct. 1 and Oct. 26  while  Northam  pulled in nearly $11 million  according to records compiled Tuesday by the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP).
The late flood of campaign money is unprecedented in modern Virginia history  according to VPAP. Together  Gillespie and  Northam  raised almost twice what the gubernatorial contenders collected in the same period four years ago.
 Northam   the stateâs lieutenant governor  also significantly outspent  Gillespie  in October  $15 million to $10.7 million. Doing so meant losing the 2-to-1 cash advantage he had over  Gillespie  since the summer.
With 12 days before Election Day   Northam  had $1.7 million left in campaign accounts to  Gillespie âs $1.4 million. Libertarian candidate Cliff Hyra raised $11 000 in the October period  ending with about $5 000 on hand.

The Republican Governors Association on Monday gave $2.8 million to  Gillespie âs campaign â the largest single donation to a gubernatorial candidate in recent memory  according to VPAP.
The tightening of the money race comes as most polls show Northam with a slight lead or in a dead heat with  Gillespie   a longtime GOP operative. Virginiaâs governorâs race is widely viewed as a test of politics in the era of President Trump and a hint of whatâs to come in next yearâs midterm elections.
 Gillespie  has been airing hard-edge ads seeking to tie Northam to MS-13 gang violence and a sex offender who briefly got his rights restored. Northam countered with a commercial blasting  Gillespie âs ads as âfalse attacksâ and âdespicable â while the Latino Victory Fund released a controversial commercial featuring a  Gillespie  supporter in a pickup truck chasing a group of minority children.
 Gillespie âs earlier fundraising troubles raised questions about why a well-connected former head of the Republican National Committee â and a lobbyist and consultant for Fortune 500 companies â wasnât able to keep up.
In the October filing period  the Republican Governors Association poured $4.75 million into  Gillespie âs bid  nearly half his haul. He also received $250 000 from Marlene Ricketts  a conservative donor who bankrolled an effort to stop Trump from securing the GOP nomination. Investment banker and GOP donor Thomas Saunders and Haulover Creek Development Co. each pitched in $100 000.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mariano Rajoy ? Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy  vows that  his  government will not allow Catalonia  which represents a fifth of Spain's economy  to break away from the rest of the country.

 Rajoy  said that includes the application of Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution  which would allow the central government to take control of the governance of a region "if the regional government does not comply with the obligations of the Constitution."
"The ideal situation would be that I don't have to find drastic solutions  but for that to happen there will have to be some rectifications (by Catalan leaders) "  Rajoy  said.
Rallies were held Saturday in Madrid  Barcelona and other cities to demand that  Rajoy  and Puigdemont negotiate to find a solution to Spain's worst political crisis in nearly four decades.
