From GreenvilleOnline:

Attorney General Henry McMaster appears to have won the dollar race in the second quarter in his bid to win the GOP nomination for governor.

The two-term Republican attorney general reported raising $430,078 in cash for his primary bid. But he was trailed closely by Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer’s $397,978 and U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett $393,161.

“It feels good to be gaining both financial and political momentum at precisely the right time in this race,” said McMaster spokesman Rob Godfrey.

The GOP’s fourth candidate, state Rep. Nikki Haley, reported with $192,394 for the quarter. The figures reflect cash raised during the quarter, not non-cash aid for the candidates.

However, Barrett leads the cash-on-hand race with $1.6 million to $1.4 million each for Bauer and McMaster. Haley had $530,023 on hand on March 31.
