12th Candidate Enters Race for SC-01
Man, this thing is getting huge! Mark Lutz, a managing partner of the technology company Virtual Factory Inc. based in Quincy, Massachusetts is the eighth Republican to jump into the race to replace Congressman Henry Brown. According to the Post and Courier, Lutz intends to focus on his lack of political experience as one of his strengths against his many opponents. We are supposed to have a citizen legislature, after all. The article also notes that Lutz is a supporter of the Fair Tax, a plan that would eliminate the Federal Income Tax and replace with a national sales tax.
Lutz makes the twelfth candidate to join this Congressional race, along with seven other Republicans, three Democrats, and one Independence Party candidate. The current crop of candidates are:
- Councilman Ryan Buckhannon (R)
- Col. Robert Burton (D)
- Carroll “Tumpy” Campbell III (R)
- Robert Dobbs (D)
- Katherine Jenerette (R)
- Charleston County School Board member Larry Kobrovsky (R)
- State Representative Tim Scott (R)
- Councilman Paul Thurmond (R)
- Dick Withington (D)
- Stovall Witte (R)
- Jimmy Wood (I)
