Fired Navy Admiral Advances to Democratic Runoff in South Carolina House Race

Fired Navy Admiral Advances to Democratic Runoff in South Carolina House Race
Nancy Lacore would face a tough fall election in a district drawn in 2021 to be more Republican. She is seeking to replace Representative Nancy Mace, who ran unsuccessfully for governor instead of running for re-election.

After Maces dismal performance with her run for Governor perhaps, just perhaps Nancy Lecore has a chance to take that seat in the House!

nomination. She conceded last night and endorsed Alan Wilson (current AG). There will be a runoff between Wilson and Pam Evette (current Lt Governor).

I know she ran for Governor, but didn’t hear any word on her House seat. I presume someone else won that race.

in SC (run for two seats). On the Democratic side we have a runoff: Nancy Lacore career military and was the Admiral the Felon had fired and Mac Deford a local Attorney. The Republicans also have a runoff between Jenny Acosta Honeycutt and Mark Smith. Interestingly, Mark Sanford also ran, but did poorly.
