Only one candidate files for Hartsville City Council seat
Only one candidate has filed for the Hartsville City Council seat being vacated by Tre Gammage, Darlington County elections chief Hoyt Campbell said Monday. Kenzie Delaine was the sole contender for the seat when filing closed Saturday, Campbell said. Delaine described himself as a retiree. Gammage resigned from council in February because he is moving to Columbia. Even though only one candidate has filed, a special election for the seat still will be held May 18, Campbell said. But unless a write-in candidate successfully challenges Delaine, the seat is his, Campbell said. — Bobby Bryant
