From The State:
Republican Ken Ard and Democrat Ashley Cooper face off Nov. 2 in the race for lieutenant governor, a position that includes presiding over the state Senate and overseeing the state’s Office on Aging.
The part-time job, which also includes stepping in for the governor if necessary, has an annual salary of $46,545.
Ard, a Florence County councilman since 2004, said he is a small business owner who wants to “run the state like a business,” starting with the Office on Aging.
The Pamplico resident said he would examine the office to make sure “tax dollars are being wisely spent.”
“We need to be about customer service and efficiency,” Ard said.
