| Condon Announces Senate Run |
| (Charleston-AP) -- Former Attorney General
Charlie Condon says America's greatest challenge is winning the war
on terrorism, and he says it will take changes in national policy to
it. Condon announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in a formal speech at The Citadel on Tuesday. Condon said he would work to ensure that law enforcement, intelligence and immigration databases are better integrated, to tighten policies on visitor visas and to push for development of drugs to treat people injured in biological attacks. Condon is seeking the Republican nomination for the seat held by Democratic U.S. Senator Ernest "Fritz" Hollings. Hollings is retiring after more than three decades in Washington. At least three others are seeking the GOP nomination -- Congressman Jim DeMint of Greenville, Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride and Lowcountry real estate developer Thomas Ravenel. Democrats seeking Hollings' seat include Columbia Mayor Bob Coble, state Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum and Camden native Marcus Belk. |
