Sheheen announces another run for governor (in SC against Haley)

Source: The State (Columbia, SC)

State Sen. Vincent Sheheen announced Wednesday that he will run again for South Carolina governor in 2014.

The Democrat from Kershaw County lost to then-state Rep. Nikki Haley, a Lexington Republican, in a tight race in 2010 -- 51.4 percent to 47 percent.

The governor has not formally announced that she will seek a second four-year term, but she is widely expected to enter the race after the legislative session ends in June.

Sheheen, who is the first candidate to officially announce a bid for governor, said he will not start to campaign until after the session ends so he can concentrate on his work in the Senate, party officials said.
