(Columbia-AP) July 20, 2005 - Governor Mark Sanford's
press secretary says he plans to leave his post at the
beginning of August to work in the private
sector.
Will Folks says he will revive his political
consulting company, Viewpolitik. Folks worked on
Sanford's election campaign and briefly left the
transition team to establish the company in 2002, then
ended up returning to the governor's office.
He sent the governor a letter of resignation last
week. The 30-year-old Folks says he's looking for what
he called a "less intrusive chapter" for his life.
Folks had no previous political experience before he
was hired by Sanford, and Folks says he would like to be
involved in Sanford's re-election campaign through his
new company. He also says he's working on a book.
