'A real choice': SC Democrats celebrate full slate of candidates for SC ballots
COLUMBIA — Democrats celebrated Tuesday having at least one candidate running for all of South Carolina’s constitutional offices for the first time in 32 years.
“In November, voters across South Carolina will have a real choice: not a default, not a rubber stamp, but a choice,” state Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain told reporters at the party’s Columbia headquarters.
The party also has at least one candidate for every state House seat, which Spain said hasn’t happened in over 50 years. She credited that to the party’s work with local county chairs and its “buddy system” for ensuring prospective candidates filed their paperwork.
Opposition to President Donald Trump motivated people to seek office for the first time, said former Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison, who previously led the state party.
