Attorney General Martha Coakley’s campaign said yesterday it had $1.9 million on hand entering the stretch run to the Dec. 8 special Democratic primary to fill the US Senate seat of the late Edward M. Kennedy after collecting about $1.9 million in the past seven weeks.

Democratic rival US Representative Michael E. Capuano’s campaign said Wednesday that it had more than $1.1 million on hand after raising more than $1.8 million during the recent reporting period, which closed Wednesday night.

City Year co-founder Alan Khazei’s campaign yesterday said it had raised 1.2 million and will report cash on hand of $500,000 in filings due next week at the Federal Election Commission.

The fourth Democrat, Celtics co-owner Stephen G. Pagliuca, has reported raising $350,000 in the past seven weeks but has not yet disclosed how much of his personal fortune the equity investor pumped into his campaign treasury since Oct. 1.

In September, Pagliuca gave more than $1.8 million to his campaign, which has now spent well over $5 million on radio and television advertising.

On the Republican side, state Senator Scott Brown’s campaign reported he had raised about $290,000 in the latest reporting period and had $220,500 on hand.

The campaign of his GOP primary opponent, businessman Jack E. Robinson, has not responded to the Globe’s request for fund-raising figures.
