Reece Supporters Planning Petition Campaign

Tommie Reece and her supporters will soon begin a petition drive to try to get Reece on the ballot in November's general election in her bid for the District 6 seat in South Carolina Senate. 

Reece, a Greenville County School Board member who seeks to unseat longtime incumbent Sen.
