SCDP Chair Joe Erwin tonight congratulated Inez Tenenbaum on securing the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
"Inez was once again the top vote-getter in the state," said SCDP Chair Joe Erwin. "She beat every single Republican on the ticket, and this is further proof that South Carolina Democrats are energized, organized, and ready to win in November."
Inez won her 2002 race for Superintendent of Education with nearly 60 percent of the vote, more than any Republican or Democrat running statewide that year. In 2002, Inez outpolled Senator Lindsey Graham by 45,000 votes.
