Lawmaker backs McMaster challenger in runoff bid
A South Carolina lawmaker who declined to run for governor endorsed Greenville businessman John Warren in the June 26 GOP runoff against Gov. Henry McMaster. Tom Davis said McMaster’s vetoes and gas tax handling harmed taxpayer interests and urged reforms. Davis planned to appear with Warren in Beaufort as Warren campaigns on offshore drilling opposition and medical cannabis cials. Davis has long pushed decriminalizing medical cannabis and opposes expanding offshore drilling. The runoff winner faces Democrat James Smith in November.

South Carolina Allows Adoptees Full Birth Records Access
A new South Carolina law signed by Governor McMaster grants adoptees aged 18 and older access to their birth certificates and related records. The change, effective for adoptions after 2018 and still under implementation, aims to help adoptees like Marie Anderson search for biological parents with medical histories and contact information. Anderson, now a coordinator for ALMA Society, followed extensive research across court directories and ancestry data to locate her birth mother.
