Marguerite Willis of Florence is the third Democrat to announce for the campaign in the June primary.

Willis said she is not a career politician like Smith, who has been in the House for two decades, and can offer better solutions than Noble. She says she will push to improve education, raise teacher pay and protect health care.
There are four Republicans: Gov. Henry McMaster, Lt. Gov. Kevin Bryant, former Lt. Gov. Yancey McGill and Charleston businesswoman Catherin Templeton.
