While Graham spends down a warchest built over decades in a messy primary fight,
Dr. Andrews is building momentum and the infrastructure to win
Charleston, SC — Dr. Annie Andrews, pediatrician and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in South Carolina, significantly outraised Lindsey Graham in the third fundraising quarter.
Dr. Andrews raised nearly $1.6 million in the third quarter, bringing her total raised since she launched her campaign just 4 months ago to over $2.8 million. In contrast, Lindsey Graham raised less than 520k in direct contributions in the third quarter, and less than $1.39 million including all transfers.
Dr. Annie Andrews Fundraising, By The Numbers:
✅ Over $2.8 million raised this cycle
✅ Accelerating momentum, with over $1.58 million raised in Q3.
✅ Over 100,000 contributions
✅ Average donation of less than $30
✅ Zero dollars from corporate PACs
“Lindsey Graham has been building his campaign warchest for more than half my life. Now, he’s having to spend down that warchest to fend off a messy primary challenge, and he’s relying on bailouts from Washington PACs to bring in cash,” said Dr. Annie Andrews. “We have the momentum. Our campaign more than tripled Lindsey’s direct fundraising in the third quarter, all because tens of thousands of nurses, teachers, truck drivers, veterans, mechanics, and small business owners have chipped in a few bucks.
“Lindsey Graham is in trouble in 2026,” concluded Dr. Andrews. “He can’t defend his record of ripping away Medicaid and raising prices on everything from groceries to health insurance. People are ready for a change, and our campaign is building the infrastructure to hold him accountable and win in November.”
