PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Democratic state Rep. Paula Hawks has raised about $63,400 since launching her campaign to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem.

Federal reports released by Hawks’ campaign Thursday show the representative from Hartford had about $45,600 on hand at the end of this fundraising quarter, which ran from July through September.

This is the first campaign filing deadline since Hawks announced her 2016 bid in August. So far she’s the only Democrat running.

Campaign manager Zach Nistler says the campaign is pleased and will build on the numbers.

Noem has about $1.3 million in the bank and raised more than $260,000 during the quarter. She claimed South Dakota’s congressional seat in 2010 and is serving her third term.

Noem campaign consultant Justin Brasell says she’ll be ready for a competitive race.
