Sanford names policy adviser replacement


Associated Press

Gov. Mark Sanford has named a Beaufort lawyer as his new senior policy adviser.

Tom Davis, who was policy adviser for Sanford's gubernatorial campaign last year, replaces former state Rep. Chip. Campsen in the $80,000-a-year job. Campsen of the Isle of Palms has been considering a state Senate bid.

Sanford's representative in Washington, Scott English, now will work in Columbia as a policy adviser for $75,000 a year. English will continue to work with federal issues. He previously served as legislative director for Sanford during the governor's three terms in the U.S. House.

Sanford also tapped Dennis Drew as his new education policy adviser. Drew, who will be paid $1 a year, replaces former state Rep. Rita Allison of Lyman, who is becoming lobbyist and communications director for the Commission on Higher Education.

Drew has been president of The Sunshine House, involved in private early learning centers, and is a former chairman of the South Carolina Child Care Association.
