Democrat Enters Race for Fourth Congressional District
Democrat Paul Corden of Spartanburg formally announced today that he will seek office in the 4th Congressional District. Corden, 60, will face at least one, probably two, fellow Democrats in the June 10 primary.Republican Bob Inglis, the incumbent in the race, will face challenger Charles Jeter that day.
“We must find new solutions to the difficulties facing average Americans, like all of us, who struggle each day to pay their food and gas bills,” Corden told a crowd of about 30 in front of the Spartanburg County Democratic Party headquarters on Henry Street.
“A strong Congress, exercising its responsibilities as an effective voice of the people, not a rubber stamp for special interests, can craft safeguards against the abuses of our financial systems that are largely responsible for the current economic crisis.”
