S.C. HOUSE DISTRICT 103

Anderson takes victory, goes against Snow next


The Sun News

Carl Anderson garnered enough support to win Tuesday's Democratic primary for the S.C. House District 103 seat.

After counting was complete in Georgetown and Williamsburg counties, Anderson had received 2,820 votes to Morris Johnson's 778 votes.

Both are Georgetown County residents.

In Georgetown County, Anderson received 2,214 votes and Johnson got 666.

The winner will face incumbent John "Bubber" Snow, a Williamsburg County resident who was a Democrat before recently switching to the Republican Party, in the November general election. Snow has held the seat, off and on, for 22 years.

"I am looking forward to victory in November," Anderson said. "I just hope the Democrats will come out and vote in November and we will keep that seat. I want to go to Columbia and be the voice of the people of District 103."

Morris did not immediately return telephone calls Tuesday night.

House District 103 includes most of western Georgetown County and a small part of Williamsburg County.

Johnson, a former member of Georgetown County Council, spent 33 years as an International Paper Co. employee.

Anderson is a minister and ran the family business, Anderson Furniture & Appliance Co., for 19 years.

He is a licensed insurance agent.
