Florence Attorney to Primary Mayor
FLORENCE — Florence attorney Stephen J. Wukela will run against Florence Mayor Frank Willis in the city’s upcoming Democratic primary. Wukela said he stands for leadership, openness and change in what he calls a city “divided against itself.”
“The center of that division, as I see it, is downtown Florence — it’s been left to rot,” he said. “It serves as nothing more than a haven for drugs and gangs. And for all of our leadership’s talk about downtown revitalization, nothing has been done in that core of our city, and that division remains.”
