Attorney Wins Democratic Primary for Vacant N. Charleston Statehouse Seat
Originally published by Alexander Thompson for the Post & Courier
A defense attorney and former magistrate won the Democratic primary for the S.C. House of Representatives District 109 special election by a comfortable margin Jan. 30.
Tiffany Spann-Wilder, 49, won the primary in the North Charleston-based district with 60 percent of the vote over Eduardo Curry II, an afterschool activities coordinator for a Charleston non-profit.
Curry claimed 40 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results.
No other candidates have filed for the April 2 general election in the heavily Democratic district, so Spann-Wilder is virtually assured to take the seat later this spring.
