Mike Reichenbach Defeats Jay Jordan in Florence Primary Election

Following yesterday’s primary election in Florence, Republican Mike Reichenbach will continue his race for a seat in the Senate. Reichenbach received 5,577 votes or 52.9% over his opponent Jay Jordan who earned 4,581 votes. Reichenbach is the owner of several car dealerships in the Pee Dee area and has said that throughout his campaign, he’s heard from people in the community about what their needs are, which is what motivated him to continue his race. He will face off with Democratic candidate Suzanne La Rochelle in a special election on March 29th to fill the seat formerly held by Senator Hugh Leatherman.
