Radford Backed by Lamar in Aiken Runoff for GOP Nomination
Incumbent Aiken City Councilman Eric Radford won a key boost as former rival Richard Lamar endorsed him for the Republican runoff against Richard Smith. Lamar’s support follows a Sept. 11 primary where Radford led. The runoff Tuesday at H Odell Weeks Center opens 7 am and closes 7 pm with voters from District 4 eligible. Radford campaigns online, while Smith blames Lamar’s backing for changes in signs, and Lamar previously urged direct representation on council.
