Florence County Sheriff Changes Parties
In a somewhat predictable turn of events, Sheriff Kenney Boone decided to switch political parties. He is switching from Democratic to Republican. SC House Speaker Bobby Harrell and Florence Senator Hugh Leatherman were on hand to give Sheriff Boone their support.
Some, in Florence County, may have seen this coming. Sheriff Boone will be up for election soon and there has been talk that former Florence County Sheriff Jimmy Gregg may decide to run again. Gregg is a Democrat. Even though we feel that politics should not come into play in these types of races it will be interesting to see how the votes fall. Currently, Florence County only has one publicly elected Republican - Treasurer Dean Fowler.
