Gwen Graham tops $1 million in fundraising

U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham's fundraising push for her 2016 campaign has already yielded big numbers.

The first-term congresswoman announced Wednesday she's raised more than $1 million in the past six months.

"I'm following through on my promise to bring the North Florida Way to Washington, and that's exciting people across the district," Graham said. "I'm proud to have the support of Republicans and Democrats who are yearning for leaders in Congress to cross the aisle and get things done."

Graham, the former chief labor negotiator for Leon County Schools, ousted Republican incumbent Steve Southerland in November.

She's collected more than 7,800 contributions since January with an average of $12.60 per donation.
