SC HD-31 Special Election: Rosalyn Henderson Myers Wins In Landslide

Last night, the people of SC House District 31 elected Spartanburg City Councilwoman Rosalyn Henderson Myers to serve as their state representative. The Spartanburg South Side native won in a landslide against her Republican opponent, Mike Fowler, as she received 90.8 percent of the vote.

At her victory party on West Main Street, Representative-elect Myers expressed gratitude to her supporters and excitement to get to work in Columbia. On the campaign trail, she advocated support for public schools, job creation and economic development, and a fix to the most dangerous state roads and bridges – all issues that are certain to be on the agenda when the House convenes in January.

Rosalyn Henderson Myers will fill the seat vacated by Harold Mitchell, who resigned in May due to health issues.

SC HD-31 Special Election: Rosalyn Henderson Myers Leads GOP Opponent

Democrat Rosalyn Henderson Myers is the clear favorite in the race to replace retiring state Representative Harold Mitchell (D-Spartanburg).

Myers, an attorney who currently serves on Spartanburg’s city council, won the Democratic nomination in a runoff over attorney Mo Abusaft earlier this month. She now faces perennial Republican candidate Michael Fowler in the September 26 general election.

Myers has a significant cash advantage over Fowler, as well the full support of Rep. Mitchell and her Democratic primary opponents. Her platform – which is focused primarily on improving public education and pushing for more affordable housing – and her roots in Democratic-leaning House District 31 makes her likely to notch a resounding win on Tuesday.
