COLUMBIA, S.C., April 2 (UPI) -- Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, whose second term is notable for a sex scandal, defeated Curtis Bostic in Tuesday's Republican congressional runoff.
"I'm humbled and overwhelmed by the support we've received across the district," Sanford said in a statement. "I've always said that this race is not about people, it's about ideas -- but the ideas being advanced by myself and my opponent in this general election that starts right now couldn't be more at odds with one another."
