Former Attorney General Charlie Condon, Fourth District Representative Jim DeMint of Greenville, Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride and Charleston real estate developer Thomas Ravenel already are seeking the G-O-P nomination. Democrats seeking the seat are state Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum and Camden native Marcus Belk.
