With two months to go, millions have been invested in the race for the 1st Congressional District seat.
The long list of competitors for the special election to take the 1st Congressional District has been able to raise plenty of money, both from donations and personal warchests — but Republican and former Gov. Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch have been the donation front runners.
Sanford has raised $334,000 and Busch raised $310,000 through February 27.
But Former state Sen. John Kuhn has outshone those dollar amounts with a personal contribution of $500,000 and State Rep. Chip Limehouse, R-Charleston, has personally invested $400,000.
The Island Packet offers a solid report on the numbers; take a read here.
The GOP and Democrat primary is slated for March 19. If needed, a primary runoff is due April 2. The special election will follow on May 7.
