Patterson’s Budget Board Seat Top GOP Target
At 82 state Treasurer Grady Patterson remains the lone Democratic incumbent on South Carolina’s Budget and Control Board facing Republican challenger Thomas Ravenel.

Patterson, a former World War II fighter pilot and Korean War veteran, notes his career as a mill worker, law graduate, and longtime public servant.
