New Actor: Ten Republicans file for GOP Senate primary
The Republican filing window closed Tuesday with a crowded field for South Carolina’s special U.S. Senate race. Twelve candidates filed by the deadline, but the state party later disqualified Danny Ford II and Darius Mitchell over voter‑history rules and Clark Neilson over residency, leaving nine on the ballot. Clark Neilson’s paperwork listed a Charlotte, North Carolina address.
The ballot includes interim Sen. Darline Graham, U.S. Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, and former Gov. and U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford. Norman jumped in fresh off an unsuccessful primary run for governor. Rounding out the field are Duke Buckner, Mark Lynch, Mark McBride, Glenda Gail Parker and Samuel Shepherd.
Early voting runs Aug. 5 through Aug. 7, with Primary Day on Aug. 11. If no candidate tops 50 percent, a runoff will be held Aug. 25.
