A second candidate has announed plans to run for the still-to-be-approved 7th Congressional District race.
Parnell Diggs, an area attorney and President of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina, announced his candidacy for the seat Monday afternoon
in front of Myrtle Beach City Hall,
The Sun News reported.
Diggs said he decided to run for the office because he worries about the future that will be left behind for people like his 11-year-old son, Jordan.
The only other official candidate for the seat is state legislator and area attorney, Thad Viers, who announced in August, just after Gov. Nikki Haley signed
off on the new congressional district lines.
