Letter | Send Russell Fry to Columbia from House District 106

Let’s send Russell Fry to Columbia

On Aug. 11, we will be going back to the polls to fill the House District 106 seat vacated by Nelson Hardwick.

I was sorry to see Nelson leave; however, we have an opportunity to fill that seat with a young man that is more than qualified.

I have worked with Russell Fry for nearly six years with the Horry Count GOP, and I see how he operates. The party is in great shape largely due to his leadership.

He is a person who can take charge and get the job done. For a young man, he has accomplished a lot at 30 years of age and did so on his own merit. Please go to the polls, vote for Russell Fry; let's send a good man to Columbia.

Cleo Steele, president of North Myrtle Beach Republican Club
