On the front page of April 10 issue of The News in “Off to the races: Candidates vie for state, local office” it was stated that “South Carolina District 101 State Senator Roger Kirby is facing competition from three newcomers including fellow Democrats, Cynthia O. Ford and Frank Lucas Atkinson, and Republican candidate Kevin Taylor Coleridge.”
The correct information is as follows. SC District 101 State House member Roger Kirby is running unopposed in his District 101 State House race. The other candidates are vying for the SC District 57 State House seat, currently held by Frank “Lucas” Atkinson. Democrat Cynthia O. Ford will oppose Atkinson in the June 11 Democratic Primary, and the winner of that race will face Republican Kevin Taylor Coleridge in November.
The News regrets this error and apologizes for any confusion it may have caused.
