COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina lawyer says he's raised $168,845 in his bid to win the Democratic Party's nomination for governor.
The campaign of Mullins McLeod on Thursday said that came in a little over five weeks of fundraising during the quarter that ended June 30.
McLeod entered the race with a pledged not to take political action committee money.
McLeod's campaign said the candidate couldn't raise money for five weeks because he was involved in an out-of-state trial after he launched his campaign in April.
Financial reports for the first quarter are due by Friday.
