Summary
State Rep. Jermaine Johnson has chosen Charleston Democrat Sam Skardon as his running mate for lieutenant governor, setting the stage for a historic and bold campaign. Skardon, a finance and community development expert with ties to Congressman John Lewis and a track record supporting minority-owned businesses, brings a grassroots, education-focused vision to the ticket. Together, they aim to rebuild South Carolina from the ground up — tackling education, infrastructure, and healthcare — while Johnson prepares to make Skardon a key player in revitalizing small businesses. This pairing, poised to make history if elected, directly challenges the Republican ticket of Governor Alan Wilson and Mike Reichenbach.
