COLUMBIA, S.C. - Gov. Mark Sanford has more than $2 million in cash in his re-election campaign coffers, a campaign finance report shows.

The Republican has stepped up his fund-raising this summer, even though the election is two years away. Sanford brought in as much money in the quarter ending June 30 as he did in the two previous quarters combined, according to campaign disclosure reports filed with the State Ethics Commission.

Sanford raised $765,349 from individuals and in-kind contributions, the latest quarter records show, and said he had $2.1 million on hand after spending $78,788.

In a crowded 2002 GOP primary and race against incumbent Democrat Jim Hodges, Sanford raised about $7.6 million and spent most of it. Sanford raised about $400,000 more than Hodges, who was unopposed.
