Democrats running for SC governor will debate
Two Democratic candidates for governor will participate in a debate.
Rep. James Smith, D-Richland, and Charleston businessman Phil Noble have both agreed to take part, the group Progress South Carolina has announced.
The debate will be part of the Palmetto State Progressive Summit at the Columbia Metro Convention Center on Feb. 2.
Invitations were also sent to the GOP candidates – Gov. Henry McMaster, Catherine Templeton, Lt. Gov. Kevin Bryant and Yancey McGill – but they had not committed to attend, Progress South Carolina said.
