Former SC Legislator Announces Run Against DeMint
Mon, March 08, 2010
COLUMBIA — A former South Carolina legislator and judge is officially launching his bid to oust Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint.
Democrat Victor Rawl will open his campaign Monday in North Charleston. The 64-year-old is in his first term on Charleston County Council.
Rawl then plans a news conference at state Democratic Party headquarters in Columbia before attending the Spartanburg and Greenville counties' Democratic conventions Monday evening.
DeMint is seeking a second Senate term in November. He served three terms in the U.S. House before winning the Senate seat in 2004.
In the June primary, Rawl will face former auto industry manager Mike Ruckes of Summerville. Rock Hill attorney Chad McGowan dropped out of the Democratic race last month.
