There is one U.S. Senate race in South Carolina. South Carolina will elect seven members to its U.S. House delegation. 

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is running for reelection and has raised over $1M from individuals including self-financing. The seat is considered to be solidly Republican by The Cook Political Report. Annie Andrews, a Democratic challenger to Senator Graham, has raised over $6.4M, the most of the Democratic field. Sixty-two percent of her funds are from small contributions.

Only one woman represents South Carolina in Congress: Sherri Biggs (SC-3), a Republican, who is running for reelection. She has raised $72,150—far less than the average raised by the three Republican men seeking reelection to the U.S. House. It is a solidly Republican seat according to The Cook Political Report. 

There are two open U.S. House seats in South Carolina. SC-1 is considered a “Solid Republican” seat by The Cook Political Report. Campaign finance data are available for eight Republican men and just one Republican woman: Jenny Honeycutt, who has raised $278,236. The Republican money race for the seat is led by Dr. Sam McCown, who has raised over $1.5M. On the Democratic side, campaign finance data is available for two women and three men. Nancy Lacore has raised the most of the Democrats with nearly $1M. No campaign finance data are available for Republican women in the other open seat, SC-5, also considered solidly Republican. Mallory Dittmer (SC-5), a Democratic woman, has raised $76,864. Thirty-five percent of her funds come from small contributions. 

Democratic men and Democratic women running for the open U.S. House seats have the same average proportion of funds from small contributions (38%). Raising funds from small contributions is a less common strategy for the Republican candidates. 

In open-seat House contests, Republican men have a higher average proportion of self-financing than Democratic men. Women in those races have not reported any self-financed contributions.
