Below is the breakdown of key races on election night.

U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 4

Incumbent William Timmons was challenged for the Republican nomination in District 4 by state Rep. Adam Morgan.

The Associated Press projects that Timmons will win the Republican nomination and move on to face Democratic nominee Kathryn Harvey in November.

Timmons released the following statement on the race Tuesday night.

“I want to thank the voters for once again putting their trust in me to continue to fight tirelessly on behalf of the people of Spartanburg and Greenville counties. I am pleased that voters in the Fourth District saw through the countless lies from my opponent, and recognized my hard work, strong conservative record, and the results I have gotten for my constituents. In Washington I am focused on policy - not headlines, on representing my constituents - not myself, and working with my colleagues instead of working against them. I am grateful to have the support of President Trump and proud to have the opportunity to continue to represent South Carolina’s Fourth District. Now is the time for our party to unite to move the ball forward to advance conservative policy and focus our efforts on re-electing Donald Trump this November.”
William Timmons

FOX Carolina hosted a debate between Timmons and Morgan in May, highlighting where the two GOP lawmakers differ on politics and policy:

Bryon Best and Frances Guldner were competing for the Democratic nomination. The Associated Press projected Best to win the nomination.

Guldner released the following statement conceding the race:

“I throw my support behind Bryon Best for this congressional race. The country needs a working Congress and the Republican front runners will just add to the gridlock. And, in two years, look for me on the ballot again.”

UPSTATE SHERIFF RACES

Multiple Upstate counties had candidates for sheriff on Tuesday’s primary ballot. Full interviews with all the candidates for sheriff are available in the FOX Carolina Voters’ Guide.

All incumbent sheriff candidates in the Upstate are projected to win reelection.

In Greenville County, Sheriff Hobart Lewis was challenged for the Republican nomination by Mike Fortner. Lewis, who has more than 80 percent of the votes counted so far, is projected to win. No Democrats or third-party candidates are running for sheriff so Hobart will be the only registered candidate on November’s ballot.

In Pickens County, Sheriff Rick Clark will not be seeking reelection. Five candidates were seeking the Republican nomination: Tommy Blankenship, David Harrison, Damon Hubber, Chuck James and Michael Ticknor. There will be no Democrats or third-party candidates on the ballot in November.

With close results reported on Tuesday night, the race appears at this time to be headed to a runoff vote on June 25 between Blankenship and James.

Without any candidates receiving a majority vote, the race appears to be headed to a runoff. At this time, Blankenship and James have received the most votes.

In Laurens County, incumbent Sheriff Don Reynolds was challenged by Chris Wilkes for the GOP nomination. Reynolds is projected to win with more than 70 percent of the votes.
