PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota U.S. Sen. John Thune’s bank account sits at about $11.2 million for his bid for a third Senate term in 2016.

Thune’s campaign announced Thursday that the Republican lawmaker’s third-quarter haul was about $520,000.

Campaign manager Joshua Shields says the campaign is pleased with the support. He says the resources put Thune in a strong position for the race.

The third fundraising quarter ran from July through September.

Thune didn’t face an opponent in the race for his second term in 2010. So far, he doesn’t have a Democratic challenger this cycle.

The seats held by Thune and Republican U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem will be up in the 2016 election.
