Republican primary

Sanford defeated State Representative Jenny Horne in the 2016 primary by only a 56-44 percent margin.[2] The closer than expected result has led to speculation that Sanford could be vulnerable to another primary challenge in 2018.[3] Former Director of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Catherine Templeton was reportedly being recruited to challenge Sanford, but decided instead to run for governor.[4][5]

District 5

See also: South Carolina's 5th congressional district

The 5th district is located in northern South Carolina. The incumbent is Republican Ralph Norman, who has represented the district since 2017. Norman was elected with 51% of the vote in a 2017 special election to replace Mick Mulvaney. Norman's challenger in the special election, Archie Parnell, announced on the 9th of October that he would seek the Democratic nomination for the 2018 election for District 5. The primaries will be held on June 12th, 2018. Incumbent Ralph Norman is unopposed for the Republican nomination.

Democratic primary

Special election candidate and former Goldman Sachs employee Parnell has the most fundraising of the four democratic candidates as of June 9th.[15] He was opposed by former York County Councilwoman Sidney Moore,[16] professional clown Steven Lough,[17] and Mark Ali, a former undocumented immigrant.[18] Parnell's campaign has been overshadowed by the resignation of many of his campaign staff after the discovery of allegations of domestic violence committed by him in 1973.[19] However, he has refused to drop out of the race, and won the primary with 60% of the vote.
