Galardi Adds Heat to Aiken Sheriff Contest
Frank T. Galardi announced a petition candidacy for Aiken County sheriff intensifying the race between Democrat W Ralph Gunnells and Republican Carrol G Heath. GOP leaders worry a split vote in Aiken could yield a Democrat win, while proponents say Galardi will attract support from all parties and won’t hurt Gunnells. Heath notes Democrats in Horse Creek Valley may back Galardi, and Gunnells calls the move a vote-splitter that harms Heath more than him.
