COLUMBIA (WACH, AP) -- Democratic attorney general candidate Matthew Richardson's campaign says it has $325,000 in cash on hand as the run to South Carolina's general election start.

The campaign said Tuesday it has raised $350,000 since Richardson entered the race. Richardson faced no primary opponent.

Richardson says he has raised more money in his first three months than Republican nominee Alan Wilson raised in a year.

However, WACH Fox News talked to Wilson's campaign and they say he's raised nearly $500,000 this year.

Richardson and Wilson are vying to replace two-term Attorney General Henry McMaster who lost his Republican gubernatorial primary bid.
