HORRY CO., (WBTW)- Incumbent Russell Fry wins re-election for district seat 106 and Heather Ammons Crawford will keep her district 68 seat.
Fry said going forward, he wants to work on education reform and individualize education giving parents more options. He also said coming back in January, they will have to deal with a budget surplus and hopes some of that money will go to help those affected by Hurricane Florence.
“I fight everyday for them to represent them, to take their views into consideration, and to advocate on behalf of this community and I’m very happy that they at least thought I should go back for another two years,” said Rep. Russell Fry.
Fry was up against democrat Robin Gause who ran on health care reform, an increase in living wages, and gun reform.
“I’ve always lived by this motto that if you lose or win either way you’re still a champion and you’re not defeated,” said Gause.
