Voters in the Landrum and Campobello area will be heading to the polls tomorrow to decide primary races for federal, state and local seats, including S.C. House District 38 and Spartanburg County Council District 5.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Voters in line by 7 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
The S.C. House District 38 Republican primary includes incumbent Joey Millwood, former Landrum mayor Doug Brannon and Lake Bowen area businessman John Moore.
The winner will be a favorite heading into the general election in the Republican-dominated district. The Republican party nominee will face Democrat John Lewis and Constitution Party member Jerry Blanton in November.
In the Spartanburg County Council District 5 race, incumbent Dale Culbreth, 56, is challenged by former S.C. House member Joe Mahaffey, 70, in the Republican primary.
Culbreth, an owner of a few small businesses, has served four years on county council for District 5, which includes the northwest area of the county, from Duncan to Landrum.
