Mayor Briggs uncontested

Filing for municipal elections ended Wednesday, Aug. 7 in Landrum with four candidates filing to run for the three available council seats.

Incumbent Mayor Robert Briggs was the only individual to file for his position and will run uncontested.

The council seats of Jan Horton, Billy Inman and Don Smith are up for grabs.

Inman is running for reelection along with the familiar face of Randy Wohnig who served on the council before the last election. New faces are Savannah Martin and Tammy Wells Cox. Harton did not seek re-election this year.

All Landrum voters will continue to vote at the Landrum United Methodist Church.

A statewide law going into affect in South Carolina this year requires voters to show a South Carolina photo ID when voting.

Five forms of photo ID will be accepted, including a drivers license, SC photo ID, military ID or veterans admin ID, passport or voter registration card with a photo on it. Voter registration IDs with photos can be obtained by going to the voter registration office located at 366 North Church Street, Spartanburg, S.C. 29303.
