From The State:
State Rep. Ted Pitts, of Lexington, said he is dropping out of the Republican race for lieutenant governor because his National Guard unit has been called to serve in Afghanistan.
Pitts, 37, is a medical operations officer who will deploy with the 178th Field Artillery in Afghanistan in January. This is Pitts’ first active duty service since joining the National Guard shortly after Sept. 11, 2001.
Pitts said he will finish his fourth term in the S.C. House but will not seek re-election.
