Filing for the special Republican U.S. Senate primary opened at noon on July 21 at the State Election Commission office in Columbia. Candidates were required to pay a $10,440 fee. The filing window closes at noon on July 28.
Five Republicans filed on opening day: Greenville businessman Mark Lynch; Walterboro attorney Duke Buckner; Samuel Shepherd of Lexington, a biomedical engineer; former Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride; and Clark Neilson, whose filing lists a Charlotte address.
Several announced candidates had not filed Tuesday, including U.S. Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman and Sen. Darline Graham. The special primary is August 11, with a runoff on August 25 if no candidate wins a majority.
