| Friday is the deadline for candidates to file their quarterly fundraising reports, and the numbers are beginning to trickle in across the state. First out of the gate among the S.C. Democratic gubernatorial candidates is newcomer Mullins McLeod, who is reporting that his campaign raised $165,345 in just over five weeks.
"I'm honored that so many South Carolinians have joined our campaign for change. The political insiders and Columbia politicians have been opposed to this campaign since day one, because they know I'll shake up politics as usual and focus on what matters most - creating jobs," said McLeod.
According to his disclosure report, McLeod has raised $168,845 to date and spent just over $13,280, leaving the Charleston attorney and small businessman with $155,564 COH moving forward.
It's a strong start for the McLeod team. As for his primary challenger state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, the Sheheen team reported $271,362 COH as of April 10, 2009. We'll bring you more numbers as they come in. |
