| Harvin's Widow to Run for Husband's Seat |
| MANNING - The widow of state Representative
Alex Harvin says one of her husband's wishes was that she carry on for him after he was gone. Alex Harvin was the longest-serving active member of the House when the Summerton Democrat died at a Charleston hospital earlier this month following a long illness. Cathy Harvin says as her husband's illness progressed, he asked that she continue his work in the Statehouse. Cathy Harvin filed for the January third Democratic primary. Alex Harvin's former opponent, Mitchell Ellerby, also filed to run. Ellerby challenged Alex Harvin unsuccessfully in the 2004 Democratic Primary. He says he has planned for next year's race since losing a year ago. |
