Former S.C. Attorney General Henry McMaster handily defeated Mike Campbell, son of the late GOP icon and S.C. governor, in Tuesday’s Republican Party runoff for lieutenant governor. With almost all votes counted, McMaster was leading Campbell 2-1.
“This is a great state. We’ve got it all,” McMaster told supporters at a Columbia restaurant Tuesday night. “Don’t consider us as being second to anybody. …“We need to raise our hopes, raise our dreams for every South Carolinian,” he said. “The next four years, we’re going to have to fight.”
McMaster said he looked forward to working with “our great Gov. Nikki Haley, who has shown what she can do. … We’re going to form a great team; it’s going to be an unbeatable team.”
