Ralph Anderson Feted by Colleagues

On Monday evening the Greenville County delegation to the state assembly presented outgoing District 7 Senator Ralph Anderson with the Chairman's Award. 

In a ceremony prior to the quarterly meeting of the Greenville delegation to the South Carolina legislature, Mike Fair, Senator from District 6 and chair of the group, presented Anderson with a plaque.

Earlier this spring, Anderson announced he would not seek a fifth term. He endorsed Karl Allen to replace him, a move that was pivotal to Allen winning the Democratic nomination over Lillian Brock-Flemming in the primary last month. Allen will face Republican Jane Kizer in November.

Anderson stepped down after over 20 years of public service, the first five of which came in the House.
