Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Clyburn (D, incumbent) is the Democratic nominee; John Peterson is the GOP nominee. An Alliance Party nominee was also reported; the two major-party nominees are confirmed. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the SC-06 place page.
