Graham challenger Harrison raises record-shattering $13.9 million for SC Senate bid


Graham challenger Harrison raises record-shattering $13.9 million for SC Senate bid
By Max Greenwood - 07/07/20 09:54 AM EDT


Democratic Senate candidate Jaime Harrison's campaign to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) in South Carolina pulled in nearly $14 million in the second quarter of the year, setting a statewide fundraising record in the process.

Harrison’s campaign said on Tuesday that it had raised more than $13.9 million in the period covering April through June, nearly doubling its first-quarter fundraising haul of $7.4 million and marking the second consecutive quarter in which Harrison has set a quarterly record in South Carolina.

“Our campaign's record-breaking fundraising reflects the grassroots energy behind Jaime's movement, and will allow this campaign to make the investments necessary to send Lindsey home for good,” Guy King, a spokesperson for Harrison’s campaign, said in a statement.


Graham hasn’t yet disclosed his full second-quarter fundraising numbers and isn’t required to do so until July 15. But the most recent filings available, which cover the pre-primary period in South Carolina spanning April 1 to May 20, showed Harrison out-raising Graham by about $600,000.

Harrison also raised more than Graham in the first quarter of 2020, bringing in about $7.4 million to Graham’s $5.7 million.

I’m being stalked by Jamie. They email about every three hours with a wide array of subject lines. From scare to confident, friendly, officious you name it. Crazy making.
