COLUMBIA Democrat Vincent Sheheen has more money than Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, but his financial lead could be fleeting, because Haley has momentum.
Haley's commanding performances in the Republican primary and subsequent runoff, paired with national media exposure, are building her a broad fundraising base that bodes well for her gubernatorial candidacy.
The latest quarterly financial reports show Haley, a Lexington state representative, raised nearly 70 percent of the almost $543,000 that she raised during the April-June quarter on primary day, June 8, and in the weeks that followed.
