Ralph Norman set to join South Carolina governor's race
Editor's note: This story has been corrected to note Nancy Mace has not yet declared candidacy in the race for governor. South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman (R) is expected to file is candidacy Friday to become his state's next governor. 'America has a businessman in the White House, and I believe we need a businessman as Governor of South Carolina,' a statement on Norman's campaign website reads. 'I have a vision for South Carolina – one where we fix our roads, improve our schools, and get South Carolina prepared for a tremendous opportunity. But that won't happen if we don't fix a system that is rotten to its core. I am running for Governor to shake things up, clean up Columbia, and knock down the corrupt political establishment once and for all,' he added. While in Congress, Norman, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, has supported President Trump's push to remove diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts from higher education and the government, decrease federal spending and impose tougher policies on immigration. Although Norman has helped champion the president's agenda, during last year's campaign, he backed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R). She was the last of Trump's GOP challengers to bow out from the race. Haley and Norman served alongside each other in the state House beginning in 2005 and have remained allies since. Haley has not yet shared who she will endorse in South Carolina's gubernatorial race as Norman gears up for a packed GOP primary with state Attorney General Alan Wilson and state Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette as challengers. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has teased a bid. 'We wish Congressman Ralph Norman the best of luck today as he announces his run for Governor,' Mace said in a Friday statement on X. The state's current leader, Gov. Henry McMaster (R) is term-limited and will complete his tenure in 2026. Updated at 6:23 p.m. EDT July 27. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ohio Supreme Court removes Whitehall council candidate from the race
WHITEHALL, Ohio (WCMH) — The Ohio Supreme Court removed a candidate from Whitehall's City Council race last week, reversing a decision by the Franklin County Board of Elections. The city challenged council hopeful Holly Stein's candidacy because of a stipulation in the city's charter about residency. Whitehall said Stein had not lived in Ward 4 the appropriate amount of time to be a candidate. Although the Franklin County Board of Elections said her candidacy was still valid, the Ohio Supreme Court disagreed and removed her from the race last week. Whitehall's charter says candidates must 'have resided in their respective wards … for at least two years preceding their election.' Stein lived in Ward 4 from 2019 to 2022 but moved away before returning in 2024. Upon noting this, Whitehall Councilwoman Lori Elmore, acting as a private citizen, brought the case before the Franklin County Board of Elections early this year. Stein argued that because she had lived in the ward for at least two years in total before the election, she should still be allowed to run. In her defense, she cited another Ohio Supreme Court case where a candidate faced similar residency concerns but was allowed to remain in the race. Top Ohio court to decide fate of trans healthcare ban In March, the Franklin County Board of Elections agreed with her 3-1 and decided to keep her on the ballot. Shortly after, Elmore appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court, this time alongside the city. See previous coverage in the video player above. On July 23, the Ohio Supreme Court said there are differences between her case and the previous one, especially as justices in the previous case barely agreed with one another. Citing opinions from that case, the court ruled Stein needed to have lived in the ward for the two years before running for council, so she is not qualified for the 2025 election. All seven Ohio Supreme Court Justices ruled in favor of Elmore and the city. 'While this outcome is not the decision I wanted, I respect the decision of the Ohio Supreme Court and will use this time to support other candidates and prepare myself to be the best candidate I can be for future elections,' Stein said. 'I am here to serve the people of Whitehall.' Stein told NBC4 she plans to run again in the future. In the meantime, she has plans to support other independent candidates in city council races this year, and will help speak up at council meetings on behalf of other residents as a member of the public.
