Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) has raised approximately $1.83 million for her 2026 Senate campaign, compared with $20.17 million raised by Democratic challenger Annie Andrews. Andrews has raised roughly 11 times as much as Graham in a race the Cook Political Report moved from Likely Republican to Lean Republican on Oct. 20. ​

Andrews also holds a substantial cash advantage. As of Sept. 30, her campaign reported $2.31 million on hand and $230,849 in debt, compared with Graham's $609,732 in cash and no reported debt.

The candidates' reported donor occupations reflect different fundraising patterns. Physicians contributed about $407,000 to Andrews, followed by lawyers ($201,000), business owners ($46,000), and consultants ($43,000). Graham's largest reported occupational groups were CEOs and consultants at $20,000 each, followed by lawyers and homemakers at $13,000 each.

Retired and not-employed contributors accounted for about $2.3 million, or 55%, of Andrews's reported occupation-classified individual donations, compared with $31,000, or 12%, for Graham. Andrews received $215,188 from other political committees and $396,101 in transfers from authorized committees, together accounting for approximately 3% of her receipts.

Graham received $463,500 from other political committees and $672,864 in authorized-committee transfers, accounting for approximately 62% of her receipts.

Outside organizations have reported approximately $15 million in general-election independent expenditures in South Carolina through Oct. 19, including spending supporting and opposing both candidates. An additional $20.9 million was attributed to the primaries. Despite Andrews's substantial fundraising advantage, Graham has received significant outside support, including millions in expenditures from Republican-aligned groups.

Andrews enters the final weeks with more campaign cash, while outside organizations continue spending heavily in the contest.
