COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) âone space€one space” U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham raised more than $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. The figure released Tuesday means that the Republican has nearly $7 million in the bank. His campaign says that’s the most that it is ever recorded. Graham raised a total of $1.17 million from July 1 through Sept. 30 and spent more than $533,000. The Republican’s campaign says this is the third quarter in a row that Graham has raised more than $1.1 million. Some Republicans in South Carolina don’t think Graham is conservative enough. Several candidates have announced their intent to challenge him in next year’s GOP primary as he seeks his third term.
