A crowded house of GOP candidates has filed for a chance to replace Tim Scott as the 1st congressional district representative.
The candidates will meet in the March 19 Republican Primary. A runoff would be held on April 2. And the general election is May 7.
“We have a strong field of candidates to replace our Republican rockstar, Sen. Tim Scott. After all votes are cast, our party will stand united behind the primary winner. I have no doubt that a South Carolina Republican will continue to represent the 1st district in Congress,” said SCGOP Chairman Chad Connelly in a statement.
