With 44 of 46 counties reporting, Ard had 61 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results from the South Carolina Election Commission, defeating Orangeburg lawyer and Army veteran of Afghanistan Bill Connor.

“Thank you to the people of South Carolina,” Ard said on Twitter. “I’m proud to be our GOP nominee for November.”
