State Republicans and Democrats are still pumping cash into the 48th Senate District race, although the totals pale in comparison with the millions doled out in the February special election.

Campaign finance records released Tuesday show the state Democratic Senate Campaign Committee gave $158,000 to Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine, D-Cape Vincent, between April 15 and June 27.

That's the same New York City-based committee that gave $975,000 to Mr. Aubertine last winter.

David A. Renzi, Mr. Aubertine's Republican opponent, received $70,000 from the state Senate Republican Campaign Committee, Albany, between June 10 and July 3, reports show.

That committee gave $1.13 million to Assemblyman William A. Barclay, R-Pulaski, when he challenged Mr. Aubertine in the special election.

As in the special election, advertising will be the candidates' largest expense.

Mr. Aubertine paid $144,828 to A-Political LLC, New York City, for producing television spots. A spokesman for the senator said the payment was for ads produced for the special election that were billed late.

A-Political also produced spots for Hillary Rodham Clinton's failed presidential bid.

Mr. Aubertine paid $18,000 to VShift, New York City, to design his campaign Web site.

The candidate's total expenses from March 26 to Tuesday were $194,984.73.

Mr. Renzi paid $19,477.50 to Scott Howell & Co. LLP, Alexandria, Va., to produce multiple television spots. The Republican candidate said Tuesday that he wrote all the copy for the spots himself.

The Howell firm has produced spots for President Bush and several Republican U.S. Senate candidates.

Mr. Renzi's total expenses from June 5 to Tuesday were $24,778.28.

Besides help from their party's campaign committees, the candidates are being funded by political action committees and other politicians.

Mr. Aubertine received $35,005 from such groups, including $5,000 from Lawyers Political Action Committee of New York in New York City.

He also received $3,200 from the political action committee of the state Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association Inc., Albany, which held a rally of support for Mr. Barclay before the special election.

Mr. Renzi received $6,000 from political committees, including $2,000 from Sen. Dale M. Volker's campaign. He also received $1,000 from Sen. Elizabeth O'Connor Little's campaign.

Mrs. Little chairs the committee that is holding Mr. Aubertine's bill on behalf of the Watertown YMCA.

Mr. Aubertine raised $7,929.50 from individuals and partnerships. Philip J. Randazzo, the spokesman for Republican Assembly candidate Robert W. "Bobby" Cantwell III, gave the largest individual donation: $2,000.

Mr. Renzi raised $4,130.81. Pamelia Supervisor Lawrence C. Longway gave the largest individual amount this period: $500.

Mr. Aubertine, who carried over a $34,338 balance from the special election, had a balance Tuesday of $45,329. Mr. Renzi, who opened his campaign with zero dollars, had a balance Tuesday of $55,875.33.

The next filing date for the candidates is Oct. 3.
