Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain traveled around California in recent days, campaigning for votes and money.

The Times’ Dan Morain checked recent campaign finance reports filed as required with the Federal Election Commission. And he found that McCain in May swept up $881,362 from the Golden State, usually the largest donating state for many candidates.

And McCain raked in another $1,763,826 from Californians back in April.

The Republican National Committee, whose spending this fall will also benefit McCain, has raised $6.9 million in California since January until the end of May.
