All Other County Council Members Win Primaries
Few observers thought Mike Barnes had even a slight chance of defeating Joe Baldwin in the GOP Primary race for Greenville County Council in District 18. Baldwin is a former member of Greer City Council who replaced Councilman Tony Trout when he was convicted of a federal crime and sent to the federal prison in West Virginia.
Some of the District 18 constituents thought Baldwin remained loyal to the city of Greer and paid less attention to the rural parts of the district. Barnes was apparently able to tap into that sentiment and rack up votes outside the city.
Barnes received 1,103 votes or 55.54 percent of the vote to 883 and 44.46 percent for Baldwin.

Wyatt Miler out of Race
Rep. Tom Corbin beat Amanda Tieder Somers more than two to one in the District 5 State Senate Republican Primary. Corbin received 2,404 votes or 66.29 percent to Somers’ 1,139 votes or 31.39 percent.
Corbin won in all the precincts outside Greer and Somers won in 3 Greer precincts by a slight margin.
Corbin defeated Incumbent Harry Cato two years ago and became the District 17 state representative. When Phil Shoopman suddenly announced that he was withdrawing from the race as the incumbent state senator, leaving only Somers on the ballot, the state Republican Party opened the filing period and allowed other candidates to file in accordance with state law. Tom Corbin and Wyatt Miler filed for the office.

Executive Committee Concerned About Democrat Involvement in Republican Primary
The involvement of Tommie Reece in the Senate District 6 primary race as a Republican has upset the Republican faithful. Allegations that the liberal school board member has engaged fat cat Democrats, to whom she has made campaign contributions in the past, to help turn out the Democrat vote for her in the Republican primary has added fuel to the political firestorm.
The Greenville County Republican party Executive Committee, following a lengthy, spirited discussion Monday night, voted unanimously to hold a special meeting of the committee at 7 pm on Monday, June 18 in the event a runoff in one of the county senate races involves a candidate who is a practicing Democrat according to the public record, but is engaged in mendacious conduct in order to seek election to a powerful legislative office that they could not be elected to if they were truthful.
