Democrat Hutto headed for “Lindsey Graham Country”

In official returns this month, Lindsey Graham took 7 out of every 10 votes cast in the Oconee Republican primary as he coasted to win re-nomination as his party’s candidate for the Senate this fall. But Graham’s hold as the state’s senior U-S senator in Washington is not complete. He faces a Democrat opponent in November. That Democrat, Brad Hutto, a state senator from Orangeburg County, will be a guest speaker at this weekend’s Oconee Democratic Party FUN-dRAISER. The event takes place 5 to 8 o’clock Sunday evening at South Cove Park. Tickets are $20 dollars.
