Builder Ballot: June 26 is Primary Run Off Day, Please Vote

Today is the Runoff for the Primary Election in South Carolina. The top two candidates in races where a candidate did not receive at least 50 percent of the vote in their race are placed on a ballot today for the voters to make their final decision. The winners of all of the primary races will face off in the General Election on November 6.

In Greenville and Pickens counties, two races resulted in runoffs: Senate District 8 and Pickens County Sheriff. In Senate District 8, challengers Ross Turner and Joe Swann face off today to determine the Republican nominee for Senate District 8 currently held by Senator David Thomas. Senator Thomas failed to qualify for the runoff. His term in the Senate will end in December.

In Pickens County, incumbent Sheriff D. David Stone will face challenger Rick Clark.
