Challenge to the sitting governor

Republicans get a choice this year in who they wish their nominee to be for South Carolina governor. Businessman Tom Ervin filed Saturday as a Republican candidate for governor for the June 10th primary. Ervin’s candidacy presents a challenge to Nikki Haley, the first-term Republican governor who is running for re-election. Ervin owns and operates three Upstate radio stations and is a former circuit judge and state lawmaker.
