Donors fuel governor race with first-time givers
First-time donors are contributing about 800000 to the 1990s era campaign totals for South Carolina governor races. Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges have drawn funds from roughly 1200 new donors, with Hodges receiving a large share of early money as Beasley leads in total raised. Hodges reports 30 percent of his 1.8 million comes from first-time contributors, mostly SC residents, while Beasley has about 30 percent of new money from out-of-state donors. A notable Hodges donor tied to video gambling supports a referendum on the issue. Beasley seeks a ban.
