Special election to replace former Rep. Clemmons on GOP ballot set for Tuesday
Myrtle Beach voters will return to the polls Tuesday for a special Republican primary election to replace former state Rep. Alan Clemmons on the ballot.
Clemmons, who held the seat representing District 107 for nearly 20 years, abruptly resigned last month after winning the primary campaign, setting up an unopposed run in the general election.
Running to fill his spot on the ballot will be attorney Case Brittain, who lost to Clemmons in the June primary, and former Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride.
State campaign finance reports show Brittain has raised significantly more contributions with more than $11,000 on hand from his initial campaign in addition to $7,450 gained since refiling and a $12,500 personal loan. Most of his latest donations came from attorneys and real estate professionals, his finance report shows.
McBride, who told The Sun News his primary goal is to advocate for legislation that would allow Tourism Development Fee funds to be used for public safety, has raised $550, including $300 from himself, according to his latest campaign finance report.
The winner of Tuesday’s race will next have competition in the general election after Tony Cahill filed to run as a Democrat and William Dettmering III as a Libertarian for the state House seat, which represents Myrtle Beach.
