Former South Carolina Rep. Joe Cunningham launched a bid to be his state’s first Democratic governor in nearly two decades.
Cunningham, 38, represented South Carolina’s 1st congressional district for a single term and officially announced his bid Monday, though he has hinted at his plans to run for weeks. If elected he would be the first Democrat to run successfully since former Gov. Jim Hodges, who won in 1998 but lost reelection after a single term.
