FORMER SPEAKER BOBBY HARRELL’S SON TO ENTER POLITICS

Less than a year after his father resigned from public office amid ethics allegations, Trey Harrell is running for the S.C. House of Representatives.

At least that’s what multiple sources familiar with the young attorney’s plans tell FITS …

The son of former S.C. Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell – who emerged last year as one of his father’s most aggressive defenders – will seek the District 110 seat being vacated next year by fiscally liberal S.C. Rep. Chip Limehouse.

Those close to the younger Harrell’s campaign say he plans to focus on transportation, infrastructure and education issues – although his opponents are likely to make his father the focus of the race.

Harrell – whose wife Amber Harrell just welcomed the couple’s first child – has never held public office.  The 32-year-old has clerked for a circuit court judge, worked for a solicitor’s office and lawyered in the office of Pete Strom, one of the state’s most influential attorneys.

As we reported earlier this week two other attorneys – Charleston, S.C. personal injury lawyer Eddie Phipps and corporate/ environmental attorney Mike Seekings – are also said to be eyeing the seat.

Seekings is also a Charleston, S.C. city councilman.

Meanwhile Russell Guerard -who would have beaten Limehouse in 2014 were it not for a last-minute attack mailing – indicated months ago that he is seeking the seat.

Filing for this office – and every seat in the S.C. General Assembly – officially opens next March.  Primary and runoff elections will be held next June, with the general election scheduled for next November.

She was there with her taller friend/sister. I was playing guitar that night and she said something on her way out before I was able to get her digits. Anyways, I’m trying to holler at you, girl.”

actually not a bad idea. harrell jr is undoubtedly a faithless, scumsucking careerist like his dad. but the other guys will be exactly the same. at least harrell jr would receive a tiny portion of the scrutiny any elected official deserves. maybe he will leave some crumbs on the table once in a while. the other guys?

What happened to him not running because politics was a “shit show”?

Fucker.

“although his opponents are likely to make his father the focus of the race.”

Good. He’s already proven that he says one thing and does another. Normally I don’t think children should suffer for the transgressions of their parents, but in this case it looks like he’s a chip off the ole block.

Cousin Judge in Alabama tells me that his senator (who was voted out of office) has a son who refuses to run for office. Guys named/nicknamed “Trey” or “Tripp” are common. This senators son is a “II” – he refused to be called “Junior” — the running joke is to refer to him as “Roman Numeral Two” ——-

Milo Moroni decided to run for political office, and was told he needed to hire a press agent. So he hired one at $500 per week. The first week, no press at all. Milo called his agent and said, “What’s happening?” He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about
ya.”

Two more weeks go by, a $1,000 more, and no press Milo is pretty mad. He called his agent and said, “Hey, what’s happening here?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Five weeks go by, $2,500 down the drain and not a thing to show for it. Milo was so
mortified and angry that he went down to his office, barged right in, and said, “What’s happening? What’ve I got to show for my $2,500?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Milo said, “Oh, yeah? So what’re they saying?”

He said, “They’re saying, “Whatever happened to Milo Moroni?”

A young politician from the North sought to relocate in the South. He wrote to a friend in South Carolina, asking him what the prospect seemed to be in the area for “an honest young politician and Democrat.”

In reply, his friend wrote, “If you are an honest politician, you will have absolutely no competition. If you are a Democrat, the game laws will protect you.”

Running for such an extensive sparsely populated district, I wonder if Trey knows anyone who could rent him a plane with campaign funds, in order to meet his future constituents.

The feud between the two politicians had been going on for years, but finally one day his opponent’s bullying, thieving tactics caused the politician to blow his stack. He vented his spleen in a venomous letter, but when his seasoned secretary brought it in for his signature, she ventured the opinion that it was a bit strong. So he cut a few of the most offensive bits,
but the secretary still felt it should be toned down.

“All right,” he grumbled as he struck out a few more choice phrases, “But at this rate that schmuck’s likely to miss the point entirely.”

Finally, the secretary brought in the third version for his
approval. “I suppose this’ll have to do,” said the politician grudgingly, “but you’ve made a couple of typing errors. There’s no ‘C’ in extortion, subpoena has an ‘O’ in it, and his wife’s name is Lucille.”

What our great-granddads were laughing about—-
————————————————

(1) “All these folks for me?” “No, those are candidates, friend.”

(2) “My father was just itching for a political office.”
“Did he get over it?”
“Yep. They scratched him at the polls.”

(3) “My father was a great politician in his day.”
“Oh, yeah, what did he run for?”
“The state line!”

(4) A politician was complaining to his neighbor about the news organizations lack of coverage of his speeches.“It’s a complete conspiracy of silence against me, I tell you, a complete
conspiracy of silence. What should I do about it?”
His neighbor replied, “Join it!”
